No WSL experience but who is new Man Utd boss Olid?

What the report says

Manchester United have appointed Eva Olid as their new women’s manager on a two-year contract with an option for a further 12 months, BBC Sport reports. The Spaniard replaces Marc Skinner, who left the role by mutual consent earlier this week, with United due to begin their Women’s Super League campaign in early September.

Olid arrives from Hearts, where she spent five years and helped transform the Edinburgh club into Scottish Women’s Premier League champions. BBC Sport said she guided Hearts from the bottom of the table to the title, while also leading them to their first domestic final. Her record was cited as a key reason United targeted a coach with experience in developing players.

The appointment is notable because Olid has no previous WSL or European coaching experience, making her one of the more untested hires at this level, according to BBC Sport’s analysis. United are said to believe her background fits their desire for a coach who can improve young players and bring a fresh style of play. The move also comes amid wider scrutiny of United’s ambitions for the women’s team, adding immediate pressure on Olid as she prepares a squad that BBC Sport described as depleted ahead of the season opener against London City Lionesses.
