When Olid took over the reins at Manchester United last month, she would not have imagined that a run-of-the-mill WSL fixture against West Ham United would carry such importance.
But as the Red Devils rocked up to Leigh second from bottom of the table, having failed to win any of their first three matches of the season, all eyes were on the Spaniard.
Olid, who spent five years at Scottish side Hearts before joining United, did not have time to show any signs of nerves on the touchline, as her side had taken the lead with less than 10 minutes on the clock.
It was the perfect antidote for the new United boss after what had been a difficult start to the campaign, which had left her side on the brink of becoming the first United women's team to fail to win four successive WSL matches.
However, United's clinical edge in the final third was enough to kick-start their season and follow on from the impressive 10-1 thrashing of Sheffield United in the League Cup earlier in the week.
The Red Devils have now avoided defeat in their past 31 WSL matches when scoring first.
At one point, though, that long-standing record did not appear to offer comfort for Olid, as a sloppy foul from defender Sandberg allowed Hammers forward Asseyi to halve the deficit with less than three minutes of stoppage time left on the clock.
When the visitors surged forward from the restart, for a brief moment it seemed as though the pressure was going to pile on Olid and United further, and their search for a first win of the campaign would head into a fifth week.
By the time the referee's whistle sounded out, Olid could hardly contain her smile.
There is no denying that there will be much tougher tests for United in the WSL this campaign, but after achieving a first win in charge of the Red Devils, there are likely to be few victories cherished as keenly as this by Olid.
