Arsenal are delighted to announce that head coach Renée Slegers has signed a new long-term contract with the club until 2029 and ended all speculation that a move away could happen at the end of the season
The 36-year-old Dutchwoman has been at ARSENAL since the summer of 2023, when she joined as assistant coach, following a two-year spell in charge of Rosengard. There, she’d won back-to-back Swedish league titles in 2021 and 2022.
“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,” said Renée.
“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.”
Director of Women’s Football, Clare Wheatley, added: “We’re delighted Renée has signed a new long-term contract with us. Since taking over, first on an interim basis and then as our permanent head coach, Renée has proved to be an elite coach with the capabilities to lead us as we continue to challenge to win major trophies.
‘Together with our supporters, we look forward to continuing our successful journey with Renée in the years to come.”
Chief Executive Officer, Richard Garlick, said: “Renée has already achieved great things as our head coach, leading us to our second Champions League title in her first season in charge. Beyond this, Renée has embraced the values and ambitions of ARSENAL, driving standards and progress as we aim to compete consistently at the top of the women’s game.
‘We now look ahead to an exciting second half of the season, with five trophies to play for. Our huge congratulations to Renée and her family.”
