Two big statements for women鈥檚 soccer
Mark Sappenfield
This week, soccer made two big statements about women coaches. The rather larger one happened in the United States, where the women鈥檚 national team landed Emma Hayes. Her Chelsea team has become the dominant force in the English Women鈥檚 Super League. She will be the soccer world鈥檚 highest-paid women鈥檚 coach 鈥� equal to the U.S. men鈥檚 coach.
Somewhat smaller, but closer to home (for me), my adopted hometown club, Union Berlin, has hired Marie-Louise Eta as an assistant. She will be the first woman to coach in Germany鈥檚 top men鈥檚 league. We鈥檝e written on the trend before. Signs suggest it鈥檚 just getting started.
