Belief in women in football is often conditional.
Given quickly and taken away just as fast.
In this episode of Beyond the Touchline - N5, I look at Renée Slegers — not just as the head coach of Arsenal Women, but as an example of what it looks like when a club actually commits to belief.
Despite an uncertain start to the season, Arsenal have backed Slegers with a vote of confidence. And in a game where women are rarely given time to grow into leadership, that matters.
There’s no certainty this will work out. But Arsenal have always been a club rooted in vision, patience, and process. They trusted it with Mikel Arteta — and now they’re doing the same with a young coach who came in mid-season, turned things around, and led a Champions League run no one saw coming.
