Arsenal have confirmed that Jonas Eidevall has resigned and left his post with immediate affect. Assistant coach Renée Slegers will step in on an interim basis.
Eidevall has been with Arsenal in joining in 2021 from Swedish outfit Rosengard. During that time he's claimed two Women's League Cups during three full seasons with the team. He also led the north Londoners to the semi-finals of the Women’s .
Pressure had been mounting following a string of poor results to start the season. Last Wednesday Arsenal suffered a heavy defeat to in the Women’s Champions League and were then beaten in the WSL at home to rivals .
They were booed off after conceding twice early on against their London rivals, who have continued to retain the capital bragging rights. After four games of the season the Gunners have only won one, leaving them five points off the top at this early stage.
Arsenal have finished third in the last two WSL campaigns having come second in Eidevall’s first season at the helm.
Director of Women’s Clare Wheatley said: “We’d like to say a huge thank you to Jonas for his hard work and dedication to 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."
Sporting Director Edu Gaspar added: “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.”
