The San Diego Wave have announced the hiring of former Arsenal women’s manager Jonas Eidevall as their new head coach on a three-year contract. The decision was made based on the vision of the new ownership and the opportunities for growth at the Wave. Eidevall, a 41-year-old Swede, had previously managed Arsenal in the Women’s Super League, where he achieved success by winning two League Cups and reaching the Champions League semifinals.
Eidevall’s appointment comes after a period of instability at San Diego, with the team finishing 10th in the league and missing out on the playoffs. The departure of team captain Alex Morgan and the midseason dismissal of manager Casey Stoney left the Wave in need of a fresh start. Eidevall will aim to bring stability to the club and elevate them back into title contention under the new ownership.
The official announcement of Eidevall’s hiring is expected in the coming days, with the Equalizer being the first to report the news. With Eidevall’s experience and track record of success, the San Diego Wave are hopeful that he will lead them to new heights in the NWSL.
