The appointment of Marie-Louise Eta as head coach at the "Union" club has been met with great enthusiasm in the football community.
Idman.Biz reports that Vincent Kompany showed his support for his colleague immediately after the female specialist had her first training session with her new team.
The Belgian specialist emphasized that this appointment is of great importance for the future:
"I am very happy for her. This step opens doors for other young women who feel they can be coaches. I wish her all the best. I hope that the only difference in the attitude towards her will be that people will be more patient with her than with male coaches. Coaching is a profession where we would really like to see more patience."
