Edward Wolecki Black (born 13 March 1965) is a Scottish football player and manager who is currently manager of Motherwell Ladies in the Scottish Women's Premier League. He has previously managed Lochee United, Montrose, Edusport Academy and Airdrieonians in men's football, and women's team Glasgow City.
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. After coaching stints with Brechin City and Arbroath, Wolecki became manager of Lochee United. Wolecki guided Lochee to the Scottish Junior Cup Final in 2005, which they lost to Tayport.
He was appointed manager of Montrose in December 2005, but David Robertson was then brought in as co-manager in June 2006. Wolecki was unhappy with this arrangement and left the club in September 2006 after agreeing a settlement with the club.
Wolecki joined women's club Glasgow City as coach for the start of the 2007–08 season. 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.
