Union Berlin Condemns Sexism After Eta's Appointment

Union Berlin has publicly denounced the sexist comments made online after the appointment of Maria Louis Eta as the first woman to lead a Bundesliga team. Eta was appointed as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season following the dismissal of Steffen Baumgart.

Union Berlin's director of football, Horst Heldt, expressed complete confidence in Eta's leadership qualities and described the derogatory comments as disappointing. He emphasized the club's commitment to protecting its staff from harassment and ensuring that such discussions do not continue.

The club is currently positioned 11th in the Bundesliga and is facing relegation threats, with a match against Wolfsburg scheduled for Saturday.
