The manager of Denmark Women, Andree Jeglertz, has been appointed as the new leader of Manchester City.
The 53-year-old Swede, who has agreed to a four-year contract, will take up the position following the 2025 Women’s European Championship. Taylor was fired in March.
Taylor left City five days before the team’s loss to Chelsea in the League Cup final, and Nick Cushing, a former head coach, took over as temporary coach.
“Andree has a wealth of experience at the top of the game as well as a tremendous ambition to drive Manchester City forward,” stated Therese Sjogran, director of football for the women’s team at City.
“Andree truly struck us with his attitude and ambition, and his perspective on the game is exactly in line with our own,” Sjogran continued.We are all thrilled to see what difference he can make in our promising future and wish him luck representing Denmark in the Euros this summer.”
Jeglertz, a former Malmo defender, has a long resume. With Swedish team Umea, he won the UEFA Women’s Cup (later the Champions League) in 2004 and guided them to consecutive finals in 2007 and 2008.
Following a stint in men’s football with Djurgardens in 2009, Jeglertz managed Finland Women for six years until 2016, after which he briefly returned to Umea before spending two years as Linkopings’ manager.
He was selected as the chief coach of Denmark following the 2023 World Cup and guided the team to this summer’s European Championship after securing second place behind the world champions, Spain, during the qualifying rounds.
Jeglertz stated: “Manchester metropolis are considered one of the biggest golf equipment in the global. there is so much brain on this organization.
“one among my key matters is to preserve the job it is been achieved and take it to the following degree.
“We would like to win, develop players and need the players every day to turn out to be better.
“i can do the whole thing i will to take this to the next degree and make sure we can play appealing and winning soccer.”
