Man City appoint Denmark boss Jeglertz as head coach

Denmark boss Andree Jeglertz will take over as Manchester City head coach after Euro 2025.

The 53-year-old Swede has signed a deal running until 2029.

City sacked Gareth Taylor, 52, in March after a lacklustre season and appointed former boss Nick Cushing on an interim basis.

After missing out on the Women's Super League title on the final day to Chelsea in 2024, City struggled with injuries this season and their drop in form saw them finish fourth and miss out on a spot in next season's Champions League by a point.

Jeglertz said: "Manchester City is one of the biggest clubs in the world. There is so much talent in this group. One of my key things is to continue the job that's been done and take it to the next level.

"We would like to win, develop players and want the players every day to become better. I will do everything I can to take this to the next level and make sure we can play attractive and winning football."

Jeglertz guided Swedish side Umea to victory in the Uefa Women's Cup – now known as the Champions League – in 2004, before venturing into international football, becoming Finland boss in 2010.

After being appointed Denmark manager after the 2023 World Cup, Jeglertz steered the Danes to the Euros – where they face Germany, Poland and Sweden in Group C.
