'It's a big role!' - Arsenal women's interim coach Renee Slegers quizzed on hopes of taking over as permanent Jonas Eidevall successor

Tottenham Hotspur Women

Arsenal Women

<p>Alessia Russo put the Gunners 1-0 up against her former club to have Slegers on the brink of her second win in the Women's Super League <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jonas-eidevall-resigns-arsenal-women-manager-disastrous-start-2024-25-season-wsl-club-shock-statement/blt744c095992bfb461" target="_blank">since replacing Jonas Eidevall on an interim basis</a>. Arsenal then let the lead slip as Melvine Malard scored a late equaliser and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arsenal-womens-player-ratings-man-utd-wsl-alessia-russo/bltae2bb71a94e0d170" target="_blank">ensured the points were shared</a>. The Gunners have improved under Slegers, who says she is enjoying the role, but they remain adrift of Manchester City and Chelsea.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <em>BBC Sport</em> after the game, Slegers said: "It is a big role. There are a lot of things to it. I love doing it at the moment and I am just trying to do my best with what I have to do at the moment."</p>

WHAT SLEGERS SAID

<p>Despite their pre-season title aspirations, Arsenal sit fifth in the WSL with just two wins from six games. They are already seven points behind leaders Manchester City and six behind Chelsea - the dreams of breaking the Blues' WSL dynasty <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-women-everton-player-ratings-alessia-russo-beth-mead-wsl-title-blow/bltc4cf3d9334f5291d" target="_blank">appear to be slipping away from the Gunners</a>. Slegers is unbeaten in her first three games but Arsenal are not yet decided on whether she, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/alessia-russo-vivianne-miedema-low-block-jonas-eidevall-arsenal/blt8c63febd2e176c54" target="_blank">or an alternative candidate</a>, will be given the permanent job.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Arsenal hierarchy will no doubt continue to monitor the progress of the side under Slegers' stewardship. The Gunners have a home game at the Emirates against Brighton on Friday knowing that a victory can put them up to fourth and a point behind the Seagulls.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR SLEGERS?
