Renee Slegers expects to hold contract talks with Arsenal soon after extending his unbeaten run as caretaker manager.
Since replacing Jonas Eidevall, who resigned in October, Slegers has won 10 of her 11 games in charge, leading Arsenal to the top of their Women’s Champions League group after beating Bayern Munich 3-2 at Meadow Park.
Little has been left on whether the club plans to keep her in charge, but she has now revealed that she expects an update soon.
She said: “I’m sure there will be communication with the club, but for now I’m going to take a break.
“We had two goals for this block. it was a try to be within striking distance in the WSL and we climbed a place and qualified for the quarter-finals and if we can win the group.
“We are successful with both, which is very strong, but now it has been very intense.
“I’m just very happy that we got this win today, we topped the group which is a great achievement for the team and the club. There are many challenges we had to overcome as a team. We need the break.”
Slegers added that she has enjoyed her time in charge despite the intensity of the job.
She continued: “It’s been very intense. It’s a big club with big players, great players, big resources, and there was already such a good foundation but I’ve learned a lot about what this role is at a club like Arsenal .
“I’ve enjoyed myself, I’ve enjoyed working with the players and the rest of the staff. I just want to highlight the rest of the staff because I usually sit here and talk to (the media) but there’s so much work that goes on behind the scenes.”
