Manchester City have marked the first anniversary of Andree Jeglertz becoming Women’s head coach, and the timing lands as more than just a celebration.
In a fresh club feature, City underlined how quickly the Swede has altered the standard around the women’s team. Appointed on 3 July 2025 after his spell with Denmark, Jeglertz inherited a side coming off a fourth-place WSL finish and turned the first year into the most successful campaign in the professional history of the team.
The headline detail is stark: City won the WSL title and FA Cup in his debut season, with the club also noting he became only the second head coach to win the WSL in a first campaign.
City Women now face different kind of pressure
The anniversary matters because it reframes the next challenge. City are no longer chasing proof of concept; they are defending a new benchmark while demand around the team rises.
- City recorded a 13-match WSL winning run under Jeglertz.
- The club highlighted major wins over Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.
- Only a final few 2026/27 season tickets remain after an extra 500 were released.
That is the real signal for supporters. The double has changed expectation as much as mood, and with Beth Mead already added to a title-winning squad, Jeglertz’s second season now starts from a position of authority.
