Edward "Eddie" Wolecki Black (born 13 March 1965)[2] is a Scottish football former player and manager, who is the head coach of Airdrieonians.

Wolecki was a player in the lower leagues of Scottish football, before becoming a coach at Dundee United under the management of both Jim McLean and Tommy McLean.[3] After coaching stints with Brechin City and Arbroath, Wolecki became manager of Lochee United.[3] Wolecki guided Lochee to the Scottish Junior Cup Final in 2005,[4] which they lost to Tayport.

He was appointed manager of Montrose in December 2005,[5] but David Robertson was then brought in as co-manager in June 2006.[6] Wolecki was unhappy with this arrangement and left the club in September 2006 after agreeing a settlement with the club.[7]

Wolecki joined women's club Glasgow City as coach for the start of the 2007–08 season.[8] He was later appointed to a full-time position with Glasgow City, becoming the first salaried coach of a women's football team in Scotland. Wolecki took sole charge of football affairs at City at the start of the 2011 season, when former manager Peter Caulfield refused an upstairs role. Caulfield subsequently joined rivals Celtic.[9]

Wolecki left Glasgow City in July 2015, having guided the team to four consecutive league championships.[8] After a brief spell at Edusport Academy, he joined Airdrieonians as the Youth Academy Director of Coaching in September 2015.[10] After Gary Bollan left the club in December 2015, Wolecki was appointed head coach of Airdrieonians.[10] He suffered a stroke in March 2016, having fallen ill during a match between Airdrie and Cowdenbeath.[11] Danny Lennon was appointed Acting Head Coach at Airdrieonians until the end of season 2015-16.
