Man City crowned WSL champions for first time since 2016 but ‘this isn’t end of road’
Man City were crowned champions after Arsenal will now held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton and they will now turn their attention to Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea
Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz said he had a feeling at the start of the season that they could win the Women’s Super League title and that the club's hunger for silverware was the reason he joined. City were crowned Women’s Super League champions on Wednesday for the first time since 2016 after Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton. City will now turn their attention to their FA Cup semi-final against holders Chelsea on Sunday.
Jeglertz, who joined City ahead of the season, is only the second manager in WSL history to win the title in his debut campaign, following Chelsea’s Sonia Bompastor in 2025. "I knew the ambition from the club, what they put into the women's programme, the quality of players and also the hunger to win," the Swede told the BBC. "Definitely, I had a feeling already from the beginning that it was possible.
I'm here because that was one of the many things they wanted us to aim for. "I definitely believed in it, but it went fast. We got pretty good, quite early.
The more you believe in it, then everything is possible with quality of this group. " A recent 3-2 reverse to Brighton could not derail them as City surged to a title victory that finally brought an end to Chelsea's dominant run of six titles in a row. "This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible effort, belief, passion and dedication of my colleagues, the players and the fans.
