Jonas Eidevall has resigned as manger of Arsenal Women after a poor start to the season. 

Although the Gunners have lost just one of their first four Women’s Super League matches, they sit sixth with five points in a tough start to the season.

Arsenal’s Sporting Director, Edu Gaspar issued his thanks to Eidevall on behalf of the club, but iterated that the priority is finding the right new manager whilst Renee Slegers will take interim charge.

“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.”

Arsenal’s Director of Women’s Football, Clare Wheatley added: “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.”

Eidevall first joined Arsenal in June 2021 and has since led the Gunners to consecutive League Cup titles, which both came with victories over Chelsea in the last two finals.
