Following a third consecutive trophyless season and the added disappointment of dropping out of the Champions League places, there has been something of a summer reset at Manchester City. Andrée Jeglertz, the former Denmark coach, has made the move to England to become Manchester City’s head coach and is tasked with changing their fortunes of a team that has, by their high standards, underdelivered in recent years.
They have said goodbye to three senior players in Chloe Kelly, Laia Aleixandri and Jill Roord, while welcoming in five new signings so far, including reinforcing their defensive depth with the additions of the Austria full-back Laura Wienroither and the Canada defender Jade Rose, while the arrivals of Sydney Lohmann and Iman Beney higher up the pitch will give fans cause for excitement.
