Sarina Wiegman extends contract to 2029, Lionesses target World Cup

Sarina Wiegman signs a new contract with England until 2029, extending her tenure at the helm of the Lionesses after leading the group to two European titles. The Dutch coach, who arrived in 2021, has already delivered England’s first major trophies.

A record that justifies continuity

Under her guidance, the Lionesses won Euro 2022, Euro 2025 and the 2023 Finalissima, confirming the motto “you don’t change a winning coach.” These successes make her the most decorated double European champion in women’s football.

Wiegman, a five‑time winner of The Best award for best coach, said her current priority is the World Cup in Brazil. She added that the team must fully exploit its potential to deliver “an exceptional summer” to English supporters.

Looking ahead to the World Cup, England will aim to move beyond the final defeat to Spain in the last edition, hoping finally to clinch the world title.

The text notes that the Lionesses, after their exploits in Europe, now target the top spot globally, with significant work to be done according to the coach.

The extension of Wiegman’s contract confirms the English FA’s desire to maintain continuity and stability at the top of women’s football.
