Manchester City has officially announced the appointment of Andree Jeglertz as the new head coach, effective after the Euro 2025 tournament. Jeglertz, currently managing the Denmark national team, has signed a contract that will keep him at the helm until 2029.

Background and Career

Andree Jeglertz, a 53-year-old Swedish tactician, brings a wealth of experience to Manchester City. His notable achievements include leading Swedish club Umea to victory in the UEFA Women's Cup (now known as the Champions League) in 2004. He later transitioned to international football, managing Finland from 2010 before taking over Denmark post the 2023 World Cup.

Vision for Manchester City

Jeglertz expressed his enthusiasm about joining one of the world's most prestigious clubs. "Manchester City is one of the biggest clubs in the world. There is so much talent in this group. My primary focus will be to continue the excellent work that's been done and elevate it to the next level," he stated.

Strategic Goals

Jeglertz aims to foster a winning culture while developing players to their full potential. "We want to win, develop players, and ensure that every player improves daily. I am committed to taking this team to new heights and playing attractive, winning football," he added.

Recent Challenges

Manchester City faced a challenging season, finishing fourth in the Women's Super League and missing out on a Champions League spot by a single point. Injuries and inconsistent form plagued the team, leading to the departure of former coach Gareth Taylor in March. Nick Cushing was appointed on an interim basis until Jeglertz's arrival.

Looking Ahead

With Jeglertz at the helm, Manchester City fans are hopeful for a resurgence. His track record of success and strategic vision positions him well to lead the team to new achievements in domestic and international competitions.
