Arsenal is a team transformed under Rene Slegers. No party won more points in the women’s Super League in 2025 (21). The rate scored by past opponents (3.6 per game), and the design of these goals, is also very remarkable.
The platoon that looked completely without self -confidence at the beginning of the season. Missing imagination and creativity, weighted by pressure on expectations than by that.
Under the Dutch Arsenal, they earned 37 points out of 14 WSL games, two shy leader Chelsea for the same period. The shooters are currently six points behind the side of Sonia Bompastor in the title of title, although the gap could be reduced to half, if they defeated Leicester on Tuesday evening, they live on Sky Sports.
It is difficult to remember the manager who has such an immediate impact. The promotion of the Slegers on the head coach, of course, benefits from the fact that since September 2023 she worked in the technical team of former chief Jonas Eidevall, but her footprint as Arsenal’s leader is no less impressive.

Slegers freely admit and sit in a relaxed attitude in their office on the Arsenal training ground, the transition from the interim head to permanent permanent permanent than expected – but only a small shock came in the results.
“It’s hard to say what I was expecting. What we wanted in my interim period was to get the team again, stabilize with consistency. We did.

The most important of the women’s super league match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal
“At the beginning we did a lot about our culture and behavior. It actually went faster than I expected. As a result, we organically developed our game.”
The current form borders perfect. This is the best win of the Gunners league from seven consecutive triumphs between October-Prosinka 2023. They are reached back, won 10 of their last 11, only declining points to Chelsea.
Arsenal threatened to fall out of the WSL device in the early parts of this campaign, but the story of comeback forced fans to reconnect. This is how the era become unforgettable. The team in the crisis, which is creeping into the team in the competition, can be something special. Slegers certainly enjoy their moment of the ridge.
“The biggest victory is the way Týtník takes over ownership,” he says. “They were so determined to bring something more. Their thinking was so good for the first few months and were so eager to work together to improve things. I am so pleased that it went in this direction.”
And nothing about this moment of perfection of Arsenal was by chance. Sometimes the team had to scrap, come from behind, stick to a narrow lead, play less nicely than normal Sleger dictations, but these components have built faith. The antagonist arsenal is something really new.
“We first built a faith in proof. We found a perfect combination of faith by showing that we can do things, and we believe we know that we can achieve something more. We use these special moments – fighting with West Ham, coming from behind Liverpool, defeating Real Madrid –
It was really the only way. The Sleges knew they had to break the cycle of dissatisfaction inherited from the eidevall era and start again. No side points, just business.
Arsenal scored 45 goals in 14 games WSL RENEEE SLEGERS, most of the team since its appointment
“I see the world and football through the eyes. I’m a different person than Jonas (Eidevall). I come from something else, I apply differently and it will always be like this. Naturally things will change if the group and football see the eyes of someone else.
“I learned that it is good for me to be calm, we connect well, within a team and employees. It was a factor of success that I really want to continue. If I introduce myself in a calm way, I can organize my ideas and be sharp and effective as a branded line.”
Persona Arsenal returned. The ratio of Slegers 85.7 % is the highest of every head coach Gunners, who took over for 10 plus games. Forty -five WSL goals scored, most of the team since its appointment, is just one example of such a positive noise.
The punctuation of bompastor bubbles even begins. The price for the “best newcomer” of the league is actually will be at the meeting. Who would you think? There is no larger compliment given how tirelessly Chelsea played.
In the end, the prey of this campaign can be little in terms of tangible silver for Slegers. But the progress and development of harmony is visible for everyone. “Fans bring other things, emotions and energy, but I want to be a calm presence. At pressure moments that players need,” he emphasizes.
Some triumphs may feel more significant than trophies so far. Joy of football, reworking with fans, excitement of the Champions League semifinals against Lyon at the end of the week. Everything more would be an unexpected bonus.
Yet it’s not bad for the first WSL timer.
