Andrée Jeglertz etched his name into WSL history as only the second manager to claim the top spot in his debut season as Manchester City ended Chelsea’s six-year dominance by clinching their first Women’s Super League title after a decade-long wait.
Arsenal’s draw at Brighton on Wednesday night sealed the deal for City, who now sit uncatchable at the summit ahead of their final league fixture against West Ham on Saturday, May 16.
Moreover, this triumph shines even brighter because Jeglertz achieved it in his very first campaign after replacing Gareth Taylor. The players responded magnificently to his leadership, overcoming every obstacle with resilience and unity.

Furthermore, City remain on course for a domestic double. They face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday, and Jeglertz expressed his delight after the title win.
“Helping guide this team to the WSL title is something I will never forget,” he said. “The girls met every challenge head-on and have been an absolute joy to coach this season.”dd68e9
“In both good moments and bad, they stuck together and found a way to win — exactly what great champions do,” he continued. “This success wouldn’t have happened without the incredible effort, belief, passion, and dedication from my colleagues, the players, and the fans. They all deserve to celebrate this amazing moment.”
“But this isn’t the end of the road,” Jeglertz added. “We still have plenty to fight for this season and in the coming years. I’m excited by what the future holds for this amazing group of players and this fantastic club.”
Manchester City have established themselves as strong contenders in the Women’s FA Cup over the years. They have lifted the trophy three times — in 2016–17, 2018–19, and 2019–20 — while also reaching the final as runners-up in 2021–22, showcasing their consistent ability to deliver in knockout competitions.
