The news does not come as a surprise. After the draw against Everton, the 5-2 defeat against Bayern Munich and the loss against Chelsea, many were questioning if Eidevall should stay at Arsenal. Jonas Eidevall took matters into his own hands and resigned from his position.
Renée Slegers takes over as Interim Head Coach
Arsenal has an important week ahead. The Women’s Champions League clash against Vålerenga and the WSL match against West Ham United cannot be lost. Renée Slegers will lead the team into those matches. When a head coach resigns it does not necessarily mean everything will be better now. Renée Slegers will talk to the media this afternoon (15th of October) about the match against Vålerenga.
Reaction from Arsenal Sporting Director and Director of Women’s Football
Sporting Director Edu Gaspar said: “We thank Jonas for his commitment to the club and achievements here since joining us in 2021. We have great respect for the dedication and commitment he showed to our women’s first team and recognise the role he has played in the growth and development of Arsenal Women. We all wish him the very best for the future.
“Our focus will now turn to the process of appointing a new Head Coach, and in the meantime, supporting Renée, as she takes interim charge of the team starting with two important fixtures this week”, Edu Gasper concluded.
Director of Women’s Football Clare Wheatley said: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Jonas for his hard work and dedication to Arsenal Football Club over the past three years. Jonas has brought us back-to-back trophies in the last two seasons, together with many memorable moments on the pitch.
“We wish Jonas and his family the best of health, happiness and success for the future. We have full confidence in Renée to take responsibility for the team in the interim period”, Wheatley said.
Arsenal Women New Head Coach
The club started the search for a new head coach. Who will take Jonas Eidevall’s place? There are a few interesting candidates, but we will have to wait and see what Arsenal does. We will do an article on possible candidates later today.
