Eva Olid: Manchester United Set to Appoint New Women’s Head Coach

Manchester United are reportedly set to appoint Eva Olid as their new Women’s head coach. According to The Guardian, the Red Devils have lined up Olid to succeed Marc Skinner, who left Old Trafford by mutual consent last week. The club has yet to confirm any appointment officially.

What the Eva Olid reports say

The Telegraph also reports that United have identified Eva Olid as their preferred candidate, with Yahoo Sports carrying the same claim. The timing is significant: the Women’s Super League season is only weeks away, and whoever takes charge inherits a squad captained by Maya Le Tissier and featuring England internationals Ella Toone and Jess Park. For now nothing has been rubber-stamped, and supporters will want confirmation from the club before treating the move as done.

An appointment would end the uncertainty that has hung over the women’s side since Skinner’s exit, which reopened questions about United’s commitment to the WSL team. Fans can follow every development through our Manchester United Women coverage.

Until the club makes it official, the Eva Olid link remains a strongly-reported rumour rather than a confirmed appointment.
