Sarina Wiegman is staying on as head coach of the England women's national team. The 56-year-old Dutchwoman extended her contract until after the 2029 European Championship, as multiple British media reported on Sunday.
Her previous contract would have expired after the Women's World Cup in summer 2026 in Brazil. With the extension, Wiegman can target three consecutive European Championship titles with the Lionesses – she already has the 2022 title, and the 2025 and 2029 finals are now within reach.
Five Finals in a Row
Wiegman took over the role in September 2021. With her home nation, the Netherlands, she won the European Championship title in 2017. In the past five major tournaments, she reached the final each time, including two World Cup finals, which she ended on the losing side.
