Manchester City have completed a domestic double in their first season under manager Andree Jeglertz, winning both the Women's Super League and FA Cup. This achievement makes them only the third team in English football history to accomplish the feat in a single campaign. Jeglertz's arrival brought immediate success, with the Swedish coach implementing a culture shift that transformed a squad previously known for falling short.

The numbers tell the story of dominance. City matched their best-ever points total of 55, recorded 18 victories - their highest in a season - and maintained a perfect home record with a 38-8 aggregate score. After a decade of near-misses, including six runner-up finishes since 2011, they finally ended their 'always the bridesmaid' reputation. Captain Alex Greenwood credited the mentality change, while Lauren Hemp celebrated her first title in eight years at the club.

Jeglertz's philosophy centers on 'Never be satisfied,' pushing players to speak and act like champions before achieving silverware. The new £10m training complex reinforces this mindset, with motivational messages on the walls. Key to the transformation was convincing star striker Khadija Shaw to stay despite her near-move to Chelsea, showing the club's renewed ambition.

The culture shift proved decisive when adversity struck. After early defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal, City maintained composure throughout the season, never surrendering their lead after taking top spot in November. This mental resilience, combined with relatively few injuries compared to rivals, created the foundation for sustained success. The manager's open-door policy and genuine care for players as individuals fostered the togetherness needed to finally cross the finish line.
