Manchester United have turned to Eva Olid, the former Hearts head coach, as their new women's team manager, according to BBC News. The Spaniard has signed a two-year deal at Old Trafford, with the club holding the option to extend her stay by a further 12 months.
Olid arrives with no prior experience in the Women's Super League, making her appointment something of a gamble for United, who will be hoping she can bring fresh ideas after her spell in Scottish football with Hearts.
Details of her exact remit and the club's expectations for the upcoming season have not been outlined, but the appointment marks a significant change in direction for United's women's setup as they look to build on recent progress in the WSL.
