Renee Slegers has been appointed Arsenal head coach on a permanent basis following a “thorough recruitment process” after tremendous success in the interim role.

The 35-year-old Dutchwoman stepped up in the wake of Jonas Eidevall’s departure in October and has since overseen an unbeaten run of 10 victories and one draw across all competitions.
