After Renée Slegers put pen to paper on a contract extension as head coach of our women’s team, we asked our friends at Opta to showcase the statistics that have led to her success.
In all competitions, Renée has taken charge of 51 matches, winning 36 of them, drawing five and losing 10, with 130 goals scored and 50 conceded. That results in an overall win percentage of 71% (and one Champions League trophy).

Her highest win percentage is in the Champions League, where she has won 12 out of 16 matches (75%), since her first match, a 4-1 win over Valerenga.
The goals have been flowing in throughout Renée’s tenure, and we’ve managed to put five past a team on six different occasions, while across 45 matches in the WSL and Champions League, on average we have netted 2.58 goals per match.
Our longest unbeaten run was 13 matches, from Renée’s first game against Valerenga to a 4-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup in January 2025. In fact, we’ve never lost more than two games in a row under Renée and not gone more than four consecutive games without a win.
Our best expected goals return was 3.9 in a 1-0 win over Juventus in November 2024, while our highest possession statistic in a match is 76.2%, which we achieved twice - in a 5-0 win over Crystal Palace in January 2025 and in a 4-2 defeat to Brighton in May 2025.
The most shots we’ve taken in a match is 27, in our emphatic 5-0 derby day win over Tottenham Hotspur in February 2025.
The teams we’ve beaten the most under Renée are Liverpool and Brighton, who we’ve won three out of four matches against each, while our best 100% record is three wins from three against West Ham United, as well as against Crystal Palace. The Seagulls are also the team we’ve scored the most goals against (12).
