Lustrinelli succeeds Eta as Union Berlin coach
Swiss coach Mauro Lustrinelli has replaced Marie-Louise Eta as coach of Union Berlin, the Bundesliga club announced on Wednesday.
Lustrinelli, 50, arrives fresh from leading Thun to a stunning debut Swiss Super League title a year after their promotion to the top flight.
The former Swiss international replaces Eta, who became the first female coach of a men's club in a major European league when she took over on an interim basis in April.
Eta, who claimed seven points in five matches to help Union beat the drop, will take over as coach of the club's women's side as previously agreed.
German media reported Union will pay around one million euros ($1.1 million) to Thun to release Lustrinelli from his contract.
"Union is a special club with clear values and honest people. I'm highly motivated and looking forward to embarking on a new journey together with the board, the staff, the fans, and of course, the team," the coach said in a statement.
Lustrinelli served as assistant coach to former Union mentor Urs Fischer, who took the club to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2019 -- and completed a stunning rise to qualify for the Champions League four seasons later.
