BERLIN (AP) — Marie-Louise Eta is set to become the first female assistant coach in the 60-year history of the Bundesliga when Union Berlin plays on Saturday.Union appointed Eta as assistant to interim coach Marco Grote following its dismissal of the popular Urs Fischer during the international break.Fischer led the team to unprecedented success over 5½ years, but Union is last this season after nine consecutive defeats. Grote and Eta were promoted from Union’s Under-19 team, which was third in both its domestic league and UEFA Youth League competitions before the senior team came calling. Their first game in charge is the home match against Augsburg, which is unbeaten in four games.Despite the fact Eta will be the first female member of a coaching staff in the league since the Bundesliga was formed in 1963, Union, as a club, only wants to focus on its precarious sporting situation.“It’s not a conscious decision for a woman. I think that almost discredits this decision,” Union presi...This city will see the most snow on Black Friday

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:39:29 GMT
Geert Wilders, with his peroxide blond hair and fiery rhetoric, has long been one of the Netherlands’ best-known lawmakers at home and abroad. Nicknamed the Dutch Donald Trump, he is famous for his strident campaigning against immigration, the European Union and especially Islam. Now he’s in pole position to become the country’s next prime minister, after winning a shock victory in Wednesday’s general election. All he needs to do is persuade potential coalition partners in other parties to work with him. How hard could that be? Wilders started his political career as a member of parliament in 1998, first for the center-right VVD, where he mentored a young Mark Rutte, before quitting the party and setting up his own Party for Freedom in 2006. That makes him the longest-serving lawmaker in the Dutch parliament.He married Krisztina Márfai, a former Hungarian diplomat, in 1992. The couple do not have children, but do own two cats, Snoetje and Pluisje, who have the...Latest news
