Manchester United are nearing a significant change in their leadership structure within the Women’s Super League. The club is reportedly close to appointing former Hearts manager Olid as their new head coach to lead the top-flight squad. Having previously managed in the Scottish top tier, Olid will bring that experience to the English game. This potential appointment comes as the Manchester-based club looks to solidify its position among the elite teams in the division. For West Ham United, developments at rival clubs are closely monitored as they navigate the competitive landscape of the WSL season. The arrival of a new tactician at a fellow top-flight club could shift the tactical preparation for future matchups involving the Hammers.
