Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz said that at the start of the season he felt they could win the Women’s Super League (WSL) title and that the club’s hunger for silverware was the reason he joined.
City became champions on Wednesday after Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Jeglertz, who joined City ahead of the season, becomes only the second manager in WSL history to win the title in his debut season, following Chelsea’s Sonia Bompastor in 2025.
“I knew the ambition of the club, what they put into the women’s programme, the quality of the players and also the hunger to win,” the Swede told the club. BBC.
«Definitely, I felt like it was possible from the beginning. I’m here because that was one of the many things they wanted us to pursue. I definitely believed in it, but it happened quickly. We got good pretty early. The more you believe in it, the more you believe in it, the more you see the quality of this group.»
City will now turn their attention to Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
