Eva Olid: Man Utd’s new miracle-working manager tasked with leading the Red Devils to the top of the WSL table

None of what Olid achieved at Hearts – the rise from the bottom of the SWPL to the top, the FA Cup final, the unprecedented title win and the style at the heart of it all – happens without time and patience, though.

Olid needed time to understand the players and what made them tick. That’s true of the group as individuals, with Lockwood simply describing her as a coach that “got it”, with she herself thriving in the No.10 role under the Spaniard.

It’s also true of the team. The switch to a game-by-game approach worked a treat in the title-winning season, for example, as did Olid’s relaxed management of the dressing room, which was more in the hands of a leadership group rather than the coach, who often only stepped in to nip issues in the bud when necessary.

“She’s not like an overawing power or anything,” Andrews remembers. “She lets the players be the players and she’s the manager.”

Then, of course, there is the style, the detail that must be absorbed for it to work and the patience needed for the performances and results to come through. “Mistakes will happen,” Burt concedes. “In terms of the mental characteristics of the players as well, it will take time to build up that courage, to build up that bravery, which she wants those players to have.”

Andrews had a front-row seat for that journey, as the holding midfielder in Hearts’ title-winning side. “As a player, you’re getting high-pressed and you have to play out from the back, and you’re going, ‘Oh my, I just want to kick the ball long, we’re under so much pressure’,” she recalls. “But when you know you have to, and you do it and it comes off, you get so much confidence from that, and that’s the football you want to play.”
