A year on, the benchmark has shifted
Manchester City marked the first anniversary of Andree Jeglertz becoming Women’s head coach this week, and the timing is not just ceremonial. The club’s own feature on the Swede’s first year makes clear how quickly the standard has changed around the team.
Jeglertz was appointed on 3 July 2025 after a spell with Denmark. He inherited a side that had finished fourth in the WSL. Twelve months later, City have a league title and an FA Cup to show for it. The club also noted he became only the second head coach to win the WSL in a debut season.
The anniversary reframes what comes next. City are no longer trying to prove they can win. They are defending a new benchmark, with demand around the team rising accordingly.
That is the real takeaway for supporters. The double has changed expectation as much as mood. With Beth Mead already added to a title-winning squad, Jeglertz’s second season starts from a position of authority.
The pressure now is structural, not sentimental.
