Manchester City name Denmark Women boss Andree Jeglertz as their new head coach
The 53-year-old Swede, who has signed a four-year deal, will start the role after the 2025 Women's European Championship and replaces Gareth Taylor, who was sacked in March.
Former City head coach Nick Cushing stepped in on an interim basis after Taylor departed five days before the club's League Cup final defeat to Chelsea.
We are delighted to confirm that Andrée Jeglertz has agreed to become the new Head Coach of Manchester City Women.
The 53-year-old Swedish coach and former professional player will join the Club from the Denmark women's national football team after this summer's Euros.

Director of football for City's women's team, Therese Sjogran, said: 'Andree brings a wealth of experience at the top of the game as well as a real hunger to drive Manchester City forward.'
Sjogran added: 'Andree really impressed us with his attitude and ambition, and the way he sees the game aligns perfectly with our own vision.
'We wish him luck at the Euros this summer with Denmark and are all very excited to see what impact he can make in our bright future.'
Former Malmo defender Jeglertz has an extensive CV. He won the UEFA Women's Cup – later the Champions League – with Swedish side Umea in 2004 and led them to successive finals in 2007 and 2008.

After a spell in men's football with Djurgardens in 2009, Jeglertz spent six years in charge of Finland Women until 2016 before a brief return to Umea was followed by a two-year stint in charge of Linkopings.
He was appointed Denmark's head coach after the 2023 World Cup and led them to this summer's Euros after they finished second behind world champions Spain in qualifying.
Jeglertz said: 'Manchester City are 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.'

William to cheer on Lionesses at Euro 2025 final
Kensington Palace has confirmed that William is to attend Sunday's final in Basel in his role as patron of the Football Association. It comes after football fan William congratulated the reigning champions on their thrilling comeback to reach the final in a last-gasp victory over Italy in extra time in Switzerland on Tuesday. In a message on X, football fan William wrote: 'Brilliant performance @Lionesses! One game from glory! #WEURO2025.' Brilliant performance @Lionesses! One game from glory! ⚽️ #WEURO2025 — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) July 22, 2025 They will play the winners of the semi-final between Germany and Spain, which takes place later on Wednesday. Chloe Kelly had 'no doubt in her mind' about taking the pressure-cooker extra-time penalty that sent England into the final, according to defender Alex Greenwood. The Lionesses were on the brink of elimination by Italy when 19-year-old substitute Michelle Agyemang forced extra time, drawing the sides level with an equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time to cancel out Barbara Bonansea's 33rd-minute opener. Then, with another shootout minutes away, Beth Mead was brought down and Kelly stepped up to the spot, where she was initially denied by Laura Giuliani, but buried the rebound to complete England's second successive stunning comeback.

'I asked her, she had no doubt in her mind, she was confident enough to take it. Support has been flooding in from some of England's top sport stars. Former England skipper Sir David Beckham and seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton both posted an image on Instagram stories with the full-time 2-1 scoreline and the jubilant team in celebration after the nailbiting finish. The messages read 'Well done @lionesses, never a doubt'. Sir Lewis added three handclapping emoji's to a shot he posted of Agyemang sprinting in delight after her vital goal. England's men's captain Harry Kane also said 'Congratulations @lionesses!! One to go!' Instagram stories post set against a photograph of the players. There was also support from two key Lionesses from the Euro 2022-winning squad who pulled out ahead of this year's tournament. In posts on their Instagram stories, England defender Millie Bright described reaching that final as 'sensational' while former goalkeeper Mary Earps showed a clip of the frenzied reaction of England's Red Roses rugby squad as Agyemang levelled up the scoreline. Earps added a note saying 'women supporting women'. Bright made herself unavailable for selection for the Euros, saying she was unable to 'give 100% mentally or physically' while Earps retired from international football five weeks before the Euro defence campaign in Switzerland. On Wednesday, defender Lucy Bronze said: 'I think the fight, the talent, the hard work we have in this England team is unbelievable and to get back-to-back European finals is not an easy feat. 'Not many teams have done that.' The Lionesses have now reached three top flight finals in a row, including a loss at the World Cup. Kelly described it as an 'unbelievable feeling'. She said: 'It's unbelievable. Such a great feeling. This team deserve nothing but that. 'Three finals on the bounce and we want more. 'This is an unbelievable feeling.' It's what she does. 3 goals in 4 caps for her country and was on the pitch for 5 mins. Take a bow Michelle Agyemang 19 years old. Wow 🔥.
