STOCKHOLM - Arsenal coach Jonas Eidevall has led his side to the top of the Women's Super League table at the season's halfway point, but it is in Europe that English clubs must establish themselves if the WSL is to be seen as the best in the world, he says.
"We can talk a lot about how the league is developing to hopefully become the world's best league, but talk is limited. In the end it's about getting results, and as long as English clubs aren't getting better results in Europe, it's hard to say that it's the best league." The 38-year-old has been impressed by the competition in England as he settles in after arriving from Swedish side FC Rosengard in June.
Everton are languishing in ninth place with 11 points from 10 matches, while City are sixth on 13 points from nine games - 12 points adrift of Arsenal.The Gunners finished the 2020-21 WSL season in third, a disappointing nine points behind Chelsea and seven behind City, which prompted them to bring in Eidevall to shake things up.
"It's a process in two parts. Yes, I come in with a clear picture of how I want to play football, but I have to be curious, I have to have big eyes and listen and understand and explore," he added.
