Before the international break, Jonas Eidevall left his role as Arsenal Women’s head coach, after a string of poor results; assistant head coach, Renee Slegers, was then appointed as the interim head coach. Slegers has guided Arsenal to 2 wins, 4-1 over Valerenga and 2-0 over West Ham, since Eidevall’s departure.
The expectation was that during the October international break, Arsenal would ramp up their search for a new manager. But Arsenal Women are in WSL action tomorrow, Sunday 3rd November, when they head north to face Manchester United, and there’s still no clear hint of who replaces Eidevall as the permanent Arsenal Women manager.
Renee Slegers, the interim manager of Arsenal, announced at her press conference yesterday that she will be in charge for at least the next five games.
“I’ll be in the interim role for this block. That’s what I know,” Slegers stated.
This implies that the Dutch coach will lead Arsenal in matches against Manchester United away, Brighton at home, a double match against Juventus, and Tottenham away.

With two victories in two games, Slegers has performed admirably so far. I hope the Gunners can maintain this winning streak, and history will never forget her role in stabilizing the situation before the start of a new era.
Manchester United versus Arsenal will be a true test of what she’s all about. I hope she comes out on top, and that our Gunners leave everything on the pitch tomorrow. An away win on Sunday would start to see our Gunners climb up the WSL table.
Do you think we can do it Gooners?

yes we can for sure, i expect we will need to push players upfield to dominate the game, i hope Maanum, Foord, Blackstenius, Mead, Caldentey, Mcabe, Fox, Catley, Codina and Walti start then do a block of substitutions at 60 minutes according to how the game is going, if we play to our strengths we can win, but we need to be ready to mark Clinton well and watch out for others to stop powerful counter attacks, i will say United 1 Arsenal 2
You’re in charge Renee.
Run the block!
