Eva Olid set to become Manchester United women's boss
The former Hearts manager replaces Marc Skinner as head coach of United's women's team.
Manchester United are set to appoint Eva Olid as their new women's manager, according to BBC Sport. The Spanish coach, 40, will meet the squad on Wednesday to complete her appointment after Marc Skinner departed the role by mutual consent on Monday.
Olid arrives following an impressive spell at Scottish Hearts, where she guided them to their first-ever league title last season. She joined the Edinburgh club in 2021 and had renewed her contract until summer 2026 with an option for a further year, though both parties agreed to part ways at the season's end. During her time at Hearts, Olid also took the team to their first domestic final, losing to Rangers in the 2024 Scottish Cup.
Skinner leaves United after five years in charge, having won the Women's FA Cup in 2024 and leading the team into the Champions League group stage for the first time. The former coach had voiced concerns about insufficient investment in the squad. Manchester United will kick off their WSL season on 4 September away at London City Lionesses.
