After a spell in men's football with Djurgardens in 2009, Jeglertz spent six years in charge of Finland Women until 2016 before a brief return to Umea was followed by a two-year stint in charge of Linkopings.
He was appointed Denmark's head coach after the 2023 World Cup and led them to this summer's Euros after they finished second behind world champions Spain in qualifying.
Jeglertz said: 'Manchester City are one of the biggest clubs in the world. There is so much talent in this group.
'One of my key things is to continue the job that's been done and take it to the next level.
'We would like to win, develop players and want the players every day to become better.
'I will do everything I can to take this to the next level and make sure we can play attractive and winning football.'

Liverpool APPROVE British record Alexander Isak transfer with Marc Guehi also wanted in £165m double-deal
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIVERPOOL have sanctioned a British record £130million move for Alexander Isak next week – confident that Newcastle will finally let the wantaway striker leave. And they also still want to land Crystal Palace skipper Marc Guehi for £35m. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Liverpool will sanction a £130m British record bid for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak Credit: PA 6 Arne Slot wants to continue his massive spending spree despite splashing out on another striker, Hugo Ekitike Credit: PA 6 The Reds are also set to fork over £35m to land Marc Guehi Credit: Getty The arrivals of both would take boss Arne Slot's summer spend to a sensational £466m following the captures of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni, Will Wright and Armen Pecsi. Liverpool have already had one bid of £110m turned down for Swede Isak but will not make any official approach until after Monday's clash with Eddie Howe's Newcastle side. The atmosphere at St James' Park will already be hostile enough and the Reds do not want to inflame the situation any further. But they make their second move big for the striker who was frozen out of Toon by Howe for Saturday's 0-0 season opener at Villa Park. READ MORE SPORT STORIES EZE DOES IT Tottenham reach £60million agreement to sign Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace During that game the Toon Army chanted: 'There's only one greedy b*****d', to make their feelings known about a striker who has downed tools, refused to play and is to be fined for missing the Villa game. Their hero worship for the front man who has scored 62 goals in three seasons since signing from Real Sociedad for £63m has disintegrated into bitterness and spite. Isak will not only be left out again by Howe but, as things stand, he will not even attend the Liverpool clash. With Guehi - who appeared to snub Oliver Glasner after Sunday's draw at Chelsea - ongoing negotiations with Palace are understood to be amicable because Eagles chairman Steve Parish and Kop CEO of football Michael Edwards have a solid relationship. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS There is increasing anxiety at Anfield over the stance of centre-back Ibrahima Konate who is refusing a new deal with only this season left on his current contract. He is keen to join former team mate Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid and Liverpool would consider selling this window or in January rather than let him leave for free next summer. 'That bothers me' - Jamie Carragher tells Liverpool NOT to sign £150million Alexander Isak from Newcastle Guehi, aged 25 like Konate, is seen as the ideal solution while the signings of him and Isak would create a world-record spend across any transfer window by any club - that mark currently held by Chelsea who forked out £391m in 2023. Slot told the Anfield hierarchy well before the end of last season that he saw Isak as central to the mega-spending masterplan of restructuring the squad that went on to claim the Premier League. That has not changed despite the arrival of £69m striker Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt and him scoring in both the Community Shield and Prem opening-day win over Bournemouth. With sales expected to have topped £230m by the end of the transfer window, it is understood a decision has now been made to try to end that Isak saga by paying an extra £20m. A likely total price of £130m would also allow Newcastle to double their money on the 25 year old and save face on the sale they have grown to accept is becoming inevitable. Harvey Elliott, a £40m target for West Ham, could come into the equation in a part-exchange deal, depending on what choice the attacking midfielder makes. Howe made it clear after the Villa game that he wants the stand-off with Isak resolved as he continues his pursuit of Brentford's Yoane Wissa. 6 6 Newcastle are still desperate to land Brentford star Yoane Wissa to replace Isak Credit: Getty He stressed: 'We would like a resolution. I am talking about myself, I am sure the ownership, and the players. 'We need that clarity. You don't need any distraction. But I am not in control of that. I think only one person really (Isak) can control that.' SunSport understands that long-held discussions with Isak's representatives have ensured that personal terms will not be a problem. Newcastle have so far been reluctant to engage with Liverpool amidst attempts to first bring in replacements having lost out to Manchester United for Benjamin Sesko and, ironically, Liverpool for Ekitike. The Bees have now upped their valuation of Wissa from £40m to £60m but the DR Congo attacker – also left out at the weekend – is digging in for a move to the North East having removed all association with the club from his Instagram account. But Wissa is almost certain to get his wish - and a deal could even be struck before the weekend. 6 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW

Rangers vs Club Brugge TV channel, live stream, team news and odds
Rangers are having a difficult star to the season but can hugely improve it in the Champions League play-off round when they take on Club Brugge. New manager Russell Martin has started Rangers' Scottish Premiership campaign with back-to-back draws against Motherwell and Dundee. Already four points off the pace set by Celtic and Hearts, Martin is quickly under pressure to improve results. The Gers have got past Viktoria Plzen to reach this stage of the Champions League and beat Alloa Athletic in the League Cup on Saturday, so there have been some positives. Club Brugge did well to beat RB Salzburg home and away in the last round to set up this two-legged tie with Rangers. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. They have won three of their first four matches of the season in Belgium, including at Zulte Waregem on Saturday. It's a busy schedule early in the season with this clash followed by a trip to St Mirren in the league on Sunday, then the return leg in Belgium next Wednesday and the first Old Firm derby on Sunday August 31 at Ibrox. The match kicks off at 8pm on Tuesday August 19 at Ibrox, with the second leg on Wednesday August 27. The match is being shown live on Amazon Prime, with coverage starting at 7.30pm. Cyriel Dessers is a doubt for the game, but it is only a minor injury the forward is dealing with. Jayden Meghoma is also in question after joining on loan from Brentford and being registered in time, but not being yet up to match fitness.
