Eidevall resigns as Arsenal Women head coach after poor start to WSL season

Jonas Eidevall has resigned as Arsenal Women head coach following their poor start to the 2024/25 campaign.

The 41-year-old came under pressure following the slow start to the Women's Super League season which included draws to both Manchester City and Everton.

His final game was a 2-1 defeat to reigning champions Chelsea on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium, which came days after Arsenal lost their opening Champions League group game 5-2 to Bayern Munich.

Eidevall's assistant Renée Slegers will take interim charge, with the search for a new head coach underway.

Arsenal have won one of their opening four games in the WSL and are the joint-third lowest scorers with just four goals to their name so far.

The Gunners were busy in the summer window with Mariona Caldentey, Daphne Van Domselaar, Rosa Kafaji and Sophie Harwood all arriving but the Gunners did lose all time leading WSL goalscorer Vivianne Miedema to Manchester City.
