Manchester City Women’s manager Andrée Jeglertz has acknowledged his surprise at how quickly his side has adapted and excelled in the 2025-26 Women’s Super League season. In what is his first year at the helm, City have established a commanding lead at the top of the table, exceeding expectations within a competitive league that includes traditional powerhouses such as Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Jeglertz, who was appointed ahead of the current campaign, took over a squad that had shown potential in previous seasons but had not managed to consistently challenge for the league title. Under his leadership, the team has shown cohesion and tactical discipline, stringing together a series of convincing wins that have placed them firmly in control of the title race.
“We believed in the quality we had, but if I’m honest, I didn’t expect it to come together this quickly,” Jeglertz said in a recent interview. He credited the players for buying into his system and highlighted the importance of the squad’s chemistry both on and off the pitch.
The timing of the club’s strong run is particularly significant given the fierce competition in the Women’s Super League. Chelsea and Arsenal, both multi-time champions, have found it difficult to maintain consistency this season, allowing City to build a significant points cushion.
Manchester City’s success has been built on a balanced approach, with a solid defensive foundation and an attacking unit that has been among the most prolific in the league. The team has also benefited from strong performances by both established internationals and emerging talents.
Jeglertz emphasized that while the current position is promising, there is still a long way to go in the campaign. “We’re taking it one match at a time,” he said. “There’s a lot of quality in this league, and we know every opponent will challenge us.”
As the season progresses, Manchester City aim to maintain their momentum and secure the club’s first Women’s Super League title since 2016, an achievement that would underscore Jeglertz’s immediate impact in English football.
