Renée Slegers signs new Arsenal deal | OneFootball

Arsenal women manager Renee Slegers has signed a new long-term contract with the club until 2029.

Slegers was appointed head coach on a permanent basis in January 2025 and led Arsenal to a historic UEFA Women’s Champions League victory just four months later.

Arsenal ended the 2024/25 season in second place in the Women’s Super League, their highest finish in three years.

On their way to the UWCL trophy las term, Arsenal beat Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, eight-time winners OL Lyonnes, and Barcelona in the final.

Speaking about her contract extension, Slegers said: “From playing in the academy and being in the stands watching Arsenal win the Champions League in 2007, to living it with our players, staff and supporters last summer, I’m immensely proud to have shared this journey with Arsenal, a club that means so much to me and to so many people.

“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract here, as I believe we have so much to achieve together – this season and in the years to come. I’d like to show my gratitude to our supporters for the incredible backing you give us, whether it’s at Emirates Stadium, Meadow Park or on the road. We hear it, we see it and we feel it every day.”
