Sarina Wiegman expressed her determination to continue her work with the England team by signing a contract extension until 2027, emphasizing that there are still objectives she aims to accomplish in her role as the team’s manager.

Sarina Wiegman, the head coach of the England women’s football team, expressed her gratitude and excitement after winning the Best Women’s Coach award for the fourth time. Wiegman, who recently signed a contract extension until 2027, believes that her team has unfinished business and is capable of achieving even more success.

Taking over from Phil Neville in 2021, Wiegman wasted no time in making her mark. Within a year, she led England to victory in the European Championship and maintained an unbeaten streak of 30 matches. Although they fell short in the World Cup final, losing to Spain, Wiegman’s previous contract was set to end after the Women’s Euro 2025.

However, she now has the opportunity to lead her team to the World Cup and pursue their dream of becoming world champions. Wiegman’s assistant, Arjan Veurink, has also signed a new deal, ensuring continuity within the coaching staff. Wiegman expressed her joy at the chance to continue working with the team and acknowledged the challenges that lie ahead. She emphasized the increasing competitiveness in women’s football and her determination to overcome any obstacles.

The England women’s team is scheduled to play their next match next month, with the opponents yet to be confirmed. Following that, they will begin their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign in April. Wiegman is eager to start the journey towards the World Cup and is grateful for the opportunity to work with such talented players and colleagues.

FA CEO Mark Bullingham expressed his delight at Wiegman’s contract extension, highlighting her achievements as a coach and leader. He praised her for helping England become a consistent force in major tournaments and for being a remarkable ambassador for women’s football and English football as a whole.

With Wiegman at the helm, England’s women’s team can look forward to an exciting future filled with potential and the opportunity to achieve even greater success on the international stage.
