Bavarian soccer club Ingolstadt has appointed Germany’s first female coach in professional men’s football. While Sabrina Wittmann is in the role on an interim basis, club bosses haven’t ruled out a longer-term contract.
Sabrina Wittmann, the first female coach in one of Germany’s three men’s professional football leagues, said she was comfortable and relaxed ahead of her debut match at the helm on Sunday.
Wittmann was appointed as FC Ingolstadt’s interim coach until the end of the season after the third-tier side dismissed Michael Köllner when the club missed out on promotion.
