Sarina Wiegman has signed a contract extension to remain as England boss until 2027. The news comes just a day after she received her fourth The Best FIFA Women\u2019s Coach Award following another stellar year.<\/p>\n
Wiegman, who took over from interim coach Hege Riise to become the nation\u2019s first-ever permanent non-British coach, has enjoyed sustained success at the helm. She lifted the Arnold Clark Cup in February 2022, before delivering England\u2019s first major trophy five months later, as the Lionesses won the UEFA Women\u2019s EURO on home soil.<\/p>\n
A second Arnold Clark Cup win in 2023 paved the way to another memorable day at Wembley, as Wiegman\u2019s side defeated Brazil on penalties to lift the maiden Women\u2019s Finalissima in April, which continued her 30-game unbeaten streak in charge.<\/p>\n
The records didn\u2019t stop there, as England went all the way to a first-ever FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup\u2122 final following an impressive showing in Australia and New Zealand. A perfect group stage was followed by hard-fought wins over Nigeria and Colombia, before a pulsating win against co-hosts Australia booked the Lionesses their place in the showpiece match.<\/p>\n
While Spain would ultimately come out on top in that Sydney showdown, Wiegman and her side returned home with their heads firmly held high.<\/p>\n
She capped off another excellent year by receiving a record-extending fourth The Best FIFA Women\u2019s Coach Award – her second since taking charge of the Lionesses – while seven of her England squad took their place in the FIFA FIFPRO Women\u2019s World11 – a record for a single nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so happy to have the chance to lead England through to 2027 after an incredible two and a half years,\u201d Wiegman told England Football\u2019s official website. \u201cLooking forward, we have unfinished business and I know we are capable of even more, although nothing will come easy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a fantastic job working with these amazing players and alongside great colleagues. And, of course, it is very special to be able to play a part in giving our fans such wonderful moments.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
