Olid to leave SWPL leaders Hearts at end of season
Head coach Eva Olid will leave SWPL leaders Hearts at the end of the season by mutual agreement. Olid, who will have been at the club for five years in the summer, beat Glasgow City for the first time on Sunday to move to the top of the table. She signed a new deal until the summer of 2026 in April last year .
There was the option for a further year in that contract, but that has not been taken up. The Spaniard, who cut an emotional figure, told BBC Scotland she "couldn't leave the club without beating City" having already picked up scalps against Celtic, Rangers and Hibs. She told her players after the win of her plan to depart this summer.
Olid, who replaced Andy Kirk in 2021, also guided the Edinburgh side to their first domestic cup final two years ago when they lost to Rangers in the 2024 Scottish Cup. There were back-to-back fourth place finishes in the league before a drop to fifth last term as city rivals Hibs finished first. Hearts are top of the SWPL, one point above Rangers - who they face next after the international break - with five matches remaining.
