Head coach led WSL club to Champions League triumph

Jodie Taylor appointed as women’s technical director

Renée Slegers has made a long-term commitment to Arsenal after the head coach signed a new contract at the Women’s Super League club until 2029.

The extension comes with Arsenal third in the WSL table, eight points behind the leaders Manchester City at the halfway stage.

Slegers, whose 18-month deal was set to expire at the end of this season, guided the north London club to Champions League glory last season as well as finishing runners-up in the league behind Chelsea.
