Prior and Man City aiming to right Champions League wrongs under Jeglertz - Soccer News

"The Citizens finished fourth in the Women's Super League in 2024-25, missing out on a place in Europe's top competition by one point to rivals Manchester United. City failed to win any silverware last season, reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup before losing to United, while also being dumped out of the Champions League in the last eight by Chelsea, who also beat them in the Women's League Cup final."

"Nick Cushing returned to the club on an interim basis to close out the campaign, but Prior, who made her WSL debut last year, wants City to build on that disappointment. "Yes, it wasn't the ending we wanted, but obviously we're all really eager to fix that this year, and hopefully we can do a lot better than we did last year," Prior told Stats Perform."

"City are under new management, with Andree Jeglertz, who previously spent two years in charge of Denmark Women, appointed as Taylor's successor back in July. However, Jeglertz's WSL bow could not have been any more difficult, with City travelling to Stamford Bridge to face champions Chelsea off the back of their domestic treble. Aggie Beever-Jones and Maika Hamano put Sonia Bompastor's side two goals to the good, with Niamh Charles' 70th-minute own-goal proving to be just a consolation."

Manchester City Women aim to win every available trophy and return to the UEFA Women's Champions League after finishing fourth in the WSL 2024-25, missing qualification by one point to Manchester United. The team won no silverware, reached the FA Cup semi-finals, and exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals and the League Cup final to Chelsea. A poor league run from November to March produced four wins in nine matches and led to Gareth Taylor's sacking. Nick Cushing finished the season on an interim basis. Gracie Prior expressed eagerness to improve and secure Champions League football. Andree Jeglertz was appointed manager in July.
