The Football Association announced on Tuesday that Sarina Wiegman, who currently coaches the England women’s side, has extended her contract and will continue to lead the squad at the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
After taking over in September 2021, Wiegman guided the team to their first significant victory in the 2022 European Championship and to the Women’s World Cup final in Australia and New Zealand, where they were defeated by Spain.
As part of her new contract, the Dutchwoman will also captain the group when they defend their European championship in 2025.
“I am so happy to have the chance to lead England through to 2027 after an incredible two and a half years,” Wiegman said.
“Looking forward, we have unfinished business and I know we are capable of even more, although nothing will come easy. Our game is becoming so competitive at the top level.
“I relish that opportunity and can’t wait to start the EURO qualifiers, followed by the World Cup.”
Qualification for the 2025 Euros begins in April.
“We are thrilled Sarina has agreed to extend her time with us as we head into another significant period of international football,” FA CEO Mark Bullingham said.
“She has achieved so much through her outstanding work as a coach and leader, and there is more to come.
“The aim with our England teams is to be a consistent competitive force in major tournaments, and Sarina has helped us achieve that – building on what had been several years of positive progress.”
