Elena Sadiku (born 6 November 1993) is a Swedish football manager and former player who is the head coach of Scottish club Celtic.
Playing career
She was an Under-19 international.
She started her career with LdB Malmö, before moving to Kristianstad and Eskilstuna United.
Sadiku suffered a knee injury in July 2014. She scored a hat-trick in her comeback game a year later, only to suffer another serious knee injury a few days later. She was unable to play in 2016 and after suffering from depression, left Eskilstuna at the end of the season. Shortly afterwards, newly-promoted Hammarby announced that they had signed Sadiku and were hoping she could overcome her injuries and recapture her best form. She played 6 games for Hammarby in 2017, scoring once, before retiring due to recurring problems with injuries.
Coaching career
In February 2018 Sadiku accepted a coaching role with Chinese Super League club Beijing BG Phoenix.
She later managed Eskilstuna United.
In January 2024 she became Head Coach of Scottish club Celtic, the first woman to hold that role. She led Celtic to their first Scottish Women's Premier League title, clinching the trophy thanks to goal difference ahead of Glasgow rivals Rangers on the last day of the season on 19 May 2024.
