Arsenal assistant coach Leanne Hall has announced that she is leaving her role after five years with the club “to rest, recover and recharge”.
Taking to social media, the former England goalkeeper said that the decision was “the hardest” she has ever made but the energy exerted across her five years, first as a goalkeeper coach and now as the assistant coach, had “taken its toll”.
Hall played a crucial role in the Gunners’ title-winning season of 2018/19, with the club ending the season boasting the best defensive record in the league on their way to glory and conceding just 13 goals. The former Leeds United, Fulham and Birmingham City player is considered one of the most qualified coaches in the country and one of the most qualified female goalkeeping coaches in the world.
