Jonas Eidevall has been named head coach of NWSL side San Diego Wave.

The 41-year-old Swede joins the American club on a three-year deal after resigning as Arsenal boss in October.

Eidevall is the long-term replacement of former England and Arsenal defender Casey Stoney, who was sacked in June, before Paul Buckle and Landan Donovan took interim charge of the side.

The club was taken over by new ownership group, the Levine Leichtman family, in October.

"I am honoured and proud to be named the head coach of San Diego Wave," said Eidevall.

"This is a club with a clear vision for success, both on and off the field, and I am grateful for the trust placed in me to lead this talented team by the Leichtman-Levine Family and Camille Ashton.

"San Diego is a city with passionate fans and a vibrant football culture, and I'm eager to contribute to building a winning legacy here.

"Together with the players, staff, and supporters, I look forward to achieving great things and making unforgettable memories for this club."

Eidevall stepped down from his role at Arsenal with the club sixth in the Women's Super League (WSL) after winning just one of their opening four games of the 2024-25 season.

He had previously secured three consecutive top-three finishes in the WSL, and consecutive Women's League Cup titles.
