Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall has resigned from his position.
The north London club is currently sixth in the Women’s Super League (WSL), having won only one of their first four matches in the 2024-25 season.
Assistant coach Renee Slegers will step in as interim head coach. “We thank Jonas for his commitment to the club and achievements here since joining us in 2021,” sporting director Edu said.
“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.”
Eidevall signed a three-year contract extension with Arsenal last October, following back-to-back top-three finishes in the Women’s Super League (WSL) and consecutive Women’s League Cup victories.

However, Arsenal struggled in recent matches under his leadership, failing to win their last three games, with one draw and two losses. The team suffered a 5-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday, followed by a 2-1 home loss to Chelsea just three days later.
“Our focus will now turn to the process of appointing a new head coach, and in the meantime, supporting Renee [Slegers], as she takes interim charge of the team starting with two important fixtures this week,” Edu added.
Sleger’s first match comes on Wednesday when Norwegian club Valerenga visit in the Champions League.
Arsenal then make the short trip to London rivals West Ham, who are 11th and yet to win in the WSL this season.
“Jonas has brought us back-to-back trophies in the last two seasons, together with many memorable moments on the pitch,” director of women’s football Clare Wheatley said.
“We have full confidence in Renee to take responsibility for the team in the interim period.”
