Sarina Wiegman extends deal as England manager

England manager Sarina Wiegman has signed a contract extension with the Lionesses which will see her stay in her role until 2027.

Former Netherlands player and manager, Wiegman took up her position in September 2021 and led the Lionesses to a first major trophy when they won Euro 2022.

England also reached the Women's World Cup final last summer, finishing runners-up to Spain.

Wiegman has also won two Arnold Clark Cups and the first Women's Finalissima against Brazil, during her time in charge of England.

'I know we are capable of even more'

The new deal will see Wiegman in charge of the Lionesses at the next Euros in 2025 - as well as the 2025-26 Nations League and 2027 World Cup if England qualify.

Wiegman said she was delighted to extend her contract "after an incredible two and a half years" with the England squad.

She explained: "Looking forward, we have unfinished business and I know we are capable of even more, although nothing will come easy.

"It 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," Wiegman added.

On Monday Wiegman was named women's coach of the year at the Fifa Best Awards for the fourth time, having won previously in 2017, 2020 and 2022.
