Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall has departed the club following defeats to Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

Renee Slegers will take interim charge of the Gunners, starting with games against Valerenga and West Ham United this week before the international break.

Eidevall took over from Joe Montemurro in 2021 and led the Gunners to two League Cup titles, but his side's failure to deliver in the Women's Super League has ultimately led to the Swede's departure.

Arsenal have begun the search for a new head coach, and will make an announcement when the process is complete.

Sporting Director Edu Gaspar said: “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.”

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."
