Berlin's Union is going through a rough patch.
Details: The team has suffered its second loss in a row since Marie-Louise Eta took over as interim head coach. This result marks another challenge for the club, which is currently undergoing a major overhaul following the recent departure of Steffen Baumgart.
It's worth noting that under her guidance, Union first lost 1-2 to Wolfsburg and has now been defeated 1-3 by RB Leipzig.
Marie-Louise Eta made football history by becoming the first woman entrusted to manage a men's team in the Bundesliga. Her appointment in April 2026 was a landmark moment for the German top flight.
The Union management must now determine whether the current run of setbacks is simply part of the natural adjustment period to new methods, or if further personnel decisions are needed. Eta herself remains composed, focusing on the tactical development of her squad as she faces the formidable challenge of stabilizing Berlin's game during the final stretch of the season.
Reminder: FIFA will allow clubs to play league matches abroad.
