HISTORY has been made in Germany after Union Berlin appointed the first-ever female coach in the Bundesliga.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They announced on Wednesday that first-team boss Urs Fischer had left the club after five years at the helm.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The Swiss led them to their first Bundesliga promotion in his debut season and followed that up by qualifying for Europe for the past three seasons.<\/p>\n

Fischer then led them to the Champions League, where they are competing for the first time this term, but has departed after a disastrous run of form domestically.<\/p>\n

Union Berlin are currently bottom of the Bundesliga and are winless in 14 matches across all competitions.<\/p>\n

They have named their U19 boss Marco Grote as interim manager while they wait to appoint a permanent successor.<\/p>\n

However, the announcement of Marie-Louise Eta, 32, as his assistant has marked a groundbreaking moment.<\/p>\n

She has worked closely as Grote\u2019s No.2 for the U19s after taking up that role in June 2023.<\/p>\n

Eta previously worked as an assistant coach for a number of women's national teams after hanging up her boots following a career playing Hamburger SV, BV Cloppenburg and Werder Bremen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former German international will now make history on November 25 when she becomes the first woman in the dugout for a Bundesliga game when her team face FC Augsburg.<\/p>\n

Union Berlin club president confirmed the news of Fischer\u2019s exit, along with his assistant Markus Hoffman, in a statement that read: \u201cI only recently made it clear that Urs Fischer is an excellent coach, and I continue to be absolutely convinced of that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHis personality and his successful work have shaped our club in recent years and opened up many new opportunities for us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring these five-and-a-half years of our collaboration, respect and trust developed between us, on the basis of which we were able to exchange ideas openly and honestly at any time.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we have now come to the conclusion that now is the time to take a different path.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me personally and certainly for the entire Union family, this is a very sad moment. It hurts that we haven't been able to break the negative trend of the last few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking back on the time we spent together and the successes we celebrated together, I am grateful and proud. As painful as this separation is, Urs Fischer leaves as a friend who will be welcomed by us with open arms at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n
