Arsenal boss Eidevall quits the Gunners
By Paul Lagan
Arsenal Women's boss Jonas Eidevall has walked out of the north London side.
The official website confirmed the already underfire boss resigned from his head coach role following the 2-1 home defeat to WSL champions Chelsea on Sunday.
First team assistant coach Renée Slegers will take charge of the team as interim head coach.
Arsenal's 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.”
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."
