Arsenal had lost their way under Jonas Eidevall, down in almost every football metric this season compared to last, but pressure to find a better replacement is high.
The chorus of boos that rang around the Emirates Stadium after Chelsea took a fourth-minute lead against Arsenal on Saturday was evidence of a clear shift in the Women's Super League. The dynamic between clubs and their fans is changing. Supporter power is on the rise. Perhaps it is no surprise, then, that merely 48 hours after a mock P45 with Jonas Eidevall's name on was held up among the crowd in north London, the Arsenal head coach was gone.
Frustration had been bubbling beneath a rocky surface in N5 for some time, and doubt cast on Eidevall's future well before news of his departure broke on Tuesday. Sky Sports pundit Izzy Christiansen summed up the situation neatly: 'Now we are in an era of the game where there is new and different pressures on managers. Arsenal is probably the highest profile club in the WSL right now, in terms of commercialisation, attendances and everything they do off the pitch to increase visibility.
