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 told BBC Scotland she "couldn't leave the club without beating City" having already picked up scalps against Celtic, Rangers and Hibs.

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.

Hearts are top of the SWPL, one point above Rangers - who they face next after the international break - with five matches remaining.
