Beth Mead praises Renee Slegers as Arsenal continue head coach search
Arsenal Look to Take a Huge Step Forward in the Women’s Champions League
As the Gunners prepare to face Juventus in the Women’s Champions League, they are seeking to build on their unbeaten run under interim coach Renee Slegers. The team is level on points with their opponents, and a win would be a significant boost to their chances of advancing to the knockout stages.
Slegers’ Uncertain Future
Despite speculation about her future, Slegers remains focused on the present, refusing to commit to a long-term role at the club. When asked about her potential job prospects, she insisted that she is "just in the moment" and not thinking about the future. Her mantra of living in the present has been music to the ears of her players, who have thrived under her guidance.
Beth Me: A Key Player for Arsenal
One player who has benefited greatly from Slegers’ influence is Beth Me. The forward has struggled at times this season, but has found her form in recent weeks, including a stunning goal in Arsenal’s 5-0 thrashing of Brighton. Me credits Slegers for helping her regain her confidence and has been a key player in the team’s resurgence.
The Game Against Juventus
The match against Juventus is a huge opportunity for Arsenal to take a significant step forward in the competition. With Bayern Munich already proving to be a formidable opponent, the Gunners will need to be at their best to take all three points. Slegers’ side will be buoyed by their recent performances, including a dominant display against Brighton, and will be looking to build on that momentum.
A Crucial Week Ahead
The match against Juventus is just the beginning of a crucial week for Arsenal. Following the Champions League clash, they will face Tottenham in the Women’s Super League, a match that could have significant implications for their domestic and European campaigns. Slegers and her team will be looking to stay focused and maintain their winning streak, both domestically and in Europe.
