The daughter of former Premier League star Hermann Hreidarsson has earned her first international caps. Hreidarsson was a fan favourite during stints at Portsmouth , Charlton and Ipswich , while earning 89 caps for Iceland.

The apple hasn't fallen far from the tree, as his daughter, Ida Marin Hermannsdottir, has now also pulled on the national team shirt at senior level. Ida Marin, 23, made her Iceland debut against Spain last week before appearing again in her nation's 2-0 loss to England women at Nottingham's City Ground, where her dad turned out numerous times during his playing days.

Ida Marin, a midfielder, completed the full 90 minutes against Spain and the opening 63 minutes against England, with her proud father was watching from the stands.

She began her career at Icelandic club Fylkir before joining Valur and, in 2024, FH (Fimleikafelag Hafnarfjordur), where her impressive performances earned her an international call-up.

His English football journey concluded with a short stint at Coventry City. He headed back to Iceland in 2013, taking on player-manager roles at IBV and Fylkir and having a short period managing Fylkir's women's side.

Hermann made his return to English football as assistant to Sol Campbell at struggling League One outfit Southend United in October 2019. After being unable to prevent the Shrimpers' drop to League Two, both he and Campbell left by mutual agreement.
