"When City's success was confirmed and the celebrations began in a room at the Joie Stadium where the team had been watching the match, Jeglertz called Greenwood over, smiled and said: 'We did it.' It was understated - but ever since he was a young football fan watching Swedish side Malmo, the former trainee school teacher has never been one to get carried away."
"I always wanted to train a lot and have always been a very determined person. I thought: 'I want to be on this level, I want to reach this.' I wanted training to be a proper format, not just to do things randomly - I've never been good in that. It has to be with some structure. It's still like that."
"Growing up in Malmo, a city in southern Sweden, he played street football with other kids and lived next door to an Englishman who encouraged him to watch the Premier League on TV. Like most children in that region, Jeglertz was in a football club by the age of five, and in that 'safe environment' he grew up obsessed with sport."
Andree Jeglertz, Manchester City's manager, led the team to their first Women's Super League title in ten years. Rebecca Knaak's stoppage-time goal secured the victory, and the title was confirmed when Arsenal failed to beat Brighton three days later. Jeglertz, a 54-year-old Swedish former school teacher, is known for his calm, composed approach. Growing up in Malmo, Sweden, he developed his passion for football through street play and encouragement from a neighboring Englishman who introduced him to Premier League football. Joining a football club at age five, Jeglertz cultivated a highly structured, determined approach to training and competition that has defined his career philosophy.
