Manchester City Women's team clinched their first Women's Super League title in 10 years after Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion confirmed their championship around May 6-10, 2026 [1, 2]. The milestone ended a decade-long wait for the club's top-flight domestic crown.
Head coach Andree Jeglertz, appointed in July 2025 following the sacking of Gareth Taylor, led the team to this success in under a year [1, 2]. Jeglertz described the team's turnaround, saying, "That was acting like a winning team. That's where we are from now on. Winners that need to act like winners every day" [1]. He also cautioned that "the difficult part starts now, it's to maintain winning" [2].
Team captain Alex Greenwood highlighted a cultural and mindset shift within the squad as central to their breakthrough. She said, "The whole season has felt different, in a really good way" [1] and noted "the shift in culture, the shift in mindset, the language we use and being comfortable to use certain language that we've maybe been a little bit afraid to use in the past" [2].
Manchester City demonstrated a clear momentum shift during the season, evidenced by decisive late goals against rivals including Arsenal, London City, and Liverpool [1, 2]. Their comeback 3-2 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final was singled out as a key moment of confidence and winning mentality [1, 2].
On Tuesday, May 13, 2026, Manchester City Women unveiled new dedicated training facilities praised as a key factor in building the winning culture at the club [1, 2]. The state-of-the-art centre aims to support the team's continued growth and competitiveness.
The club now looks ahead to defending the title and building on the progress made since Jeglertz's arrival. Maintaining their winning form will be the challenge as they seek to establish sustained dominance in the Women's Super League.
