Arsenal have officially appointed Renee Slegers as head coach on a permanent basis following an impressive tenure as interim manager.

Under Slegers’ leadership, Arsenal have won 10 matches and drawn one, scoring 31 goals and conceding just five. The team secured five straight victories in the Women’s Champions League, qualifying for the quarter-finals as Group C winners.
Slegers has signed a one-and-a-half-year contract, which will keep her with the club until the end of the 2025-26 season.
“I’m so excited to be continuing our journey together,” said Slegers. “It’s a wonderful honour to represent this club as head coach and I have so much belief in what we can all achieve together.
“Over the past few months I’ve felt such a powerful sense of collective ownership and responsibility across our players and staff – that has been our strength and I know we will make sure we drive and nurture this feeling as we all move forward.”
Arsenal’s director of women’s football Clare Wheatley said Slegers was “the standout candidate” during a recruitment process which lasted almost three months.
