Renee Slegers: Arsenal Boss reveals secrets behind the success, while Gunners are trying to with the WSL leaders Chelsea | To keep step | Football messages

Arsenal is a team that is transformed under Renee Slegers. No team won more points (21) in the Super League of women in 2025. The rate you achieve in the past opponents (3.6 per game), and the design of these goals is also quite remarkable.

This of a squad that looked completely without self -confidence at the beginning of the season. Without imagination and creativity, weighing up by the pressure of the expectation and not by taking him.

Under the Dutch woman, Arsenal, 37 points from 14 WSL games won in the same period. The Gunners are currently six points behind Sonia Bombastor’s team in the race for the title, even though the gap could be halved if they defeat Leicester on Tuesday evening Sky Sport.

It is difficult to remember a manager who has an immediate effect. Of course, Slegers’ promotion to head coach has benefited from some continuity since September 2023 after working in the former boss Jonas Eisevall’s technical team, but her footprint as an arsenal leader is no less impressive.

Tuesday, April 15 7pm

Start 7:30 p.m.

Slegers freely admits to sit in a relaxed attitude in a relaxed attitude in her office on Arsenals in a relaxed attitude. The transition from preliminary head to permanent took longer than expected – but the increase in the results has only been shocked.

“It is difficult to say what I expected,” she begins. “What we wanted in the meantime was to get the team up and stabilize with consistency. We did it. The meantime was longer than possibly what I expected, but we got a good position when we look at where we come from. I’m really happy.

“At the beginning we went a lot about our culture and our behavior. It was actually faster than I expected. We developed our game organically.”

The current form is perfectly bordered. This is the best run of the Gunners of the best league victory for seven consecutive triumphs between October to December 2023. They still won 10 of their last 11 and only reduced points on Chelsea.

Arsenal may have threatened to get out of the establishment of the WSL establishment in the early parts of this campaign, but the comeback trail was mandatory. So the epochs collect impetus and become unforgettable. A team in the crisis that is transformed into a team in a team can be something special. Slegers certainly enjoys her wave moment.

“The greatest victory was the way the squad takes,” she says. “They were so determined to bring a little more. Their attitude was so good in the first few months and they tried to work together to do things better. I am so pleased that it went in this direction.”

And nothing about this time of arsenal excellence was accidental. Some victories were routine, others were a scrap, have tested their ability to come from behind or to hold on to a guided tour or to find solutions an ugly way. The challenging components have built faith. The antagonistic arsenal is something really new.

“First we built the belief on the proof. We found the perfect combination of faith by proving that we can do things and trust that we know that we can achieve a little more. We use these special moments – defend ourselves against West Ham, come against Liverpool, beat Real Madrid – as examples and strengthen them.”

Really, that was the only way. Slegers knew that she had to break the cycle of reinforcements that were inherited from the Eidevall era and had to start again. No minor programs, only honest hard work.

“I see the world and football in my eyes. I am a person other than Jonas (Eidevall). I come from something else, I contact myself differently and it will always be. Of course things will change when the group and football are seen by another.

“I learned that it is good for me to be quiet. We connect well, within the team and the staff. It was a success factor that I really want to continue. If I present myself calmly, I can organize my thoughts and we can be sharp and effective as a day team on the touchline.”

Arsenal’s “Big Club” Persona has returned to Slegers’ Watch -her victory -Ratio (85.7 percent) is the highest head coach from Gunners, who has taken on 10 plus games. Forty-five WSL goals, the best of every team since their appointment, achieved the fruits of their work. Arsenal makes noise again.

It even starts to underline bombastors bladder. The award for the “best newcomer” of the league is Strictly speaking I will be ready to consider. Who would have thought? There is no bigger compliment because Chelsea has relentlessly achieved.

Ultimately, the prey of this campaign can only be a few in terms of the material cutlery for Slegers. But the progress and a development of harmony are clear to everyone. “The fans bring the other things, the emotions and energy, but I want to be a quiet presence. The players need the players in the pressure moments,” she emphasizes.

Some triumphs may feel more important than trophies for the time being. The joy of football, the realignment with fans, the thrill of a semi -finals of the Champions League against Lyon at the end of the week. Everything more would be an unexpected bonus.

Nevertheless, not bad for a WSL-first timer.

On Tuesday from 7 p.m., see Arsenal against Leicester City at the Sky Sports Football Live Live. Kick -off 7.30 p.m.
