Wittmann
Wittmann made history as the first female head coach in men's professional football in Germany, taking charge of FC Ingolstadt in June 2024 after initially serving as interim coach. Despite a promising start, her tenure faced challenges, and she was recently dismissed following a string of poor performances that left the team in the lower ranks of the league table. Wittmann had expressed the intense pressure she felt as a pioneer in the sport, highlighting the weight of expectations and her desire to succeed without being the first woman to be quickly dismissed.
