Sarina Wiegman Signs Contract Extension with England Until 2029
Sarina Wiegman, the England women's manager, has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep her in charge of the Lionesses until the end of Euro 2029. The 56-year-old Dutch coach's previous contract was set to expire after the upcoming World Cup.
Wiegman led England to a second consecutive European title by defeating Spain in the Euro 2025 final, marking the first time a senior England team, either men's or women's, won a major tournament on foreign soil. She expressed her delight in continuing with the squad and emphasized her commitment to helping the team fulfill its potential, particularly with the immediate focus on qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil.
Wiegman has an impressive record, having replaced Phil Neville in September 2021 and led England to their first major trophy at Euro 2022. FA chief Mark Bullingham praised her as an incredible coach with an unparalleled record in major tournaments.
