FA chief gives Sarina Wiegman contract update after England win Euro 2025

The head of the Football Association hailed the leadership of England Women manager Sarina Wiegman but said it was too early to discuss whether talks over a new contract have begun. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham labelled Wiegman's leadership as 'incredible' and promised that contract talks would take place 'at an appropriate time'. Wiegman masterminded her third successive European Championship triumph with Sunday's penalty shoot-out success over Spain to ensure England retained the trophy they won for the first time in 2022. The Dutch coach is contracted to the Football Association until after the 2027 World Cup. FA chief executive Bullingham told BBC Sport: 'She's an incredible person, incredible coach and incredible leader. 'We're very lucky to have her, proud to have her as part of the team and obviously she will be working with us for the World Cup.' Pressed on when contract talks would take place, Bullingham said: 'It's a bit early for that. 'We are delighted she is with us for the World Cup and we will have that conversation at an appropriate time. 'She is an incredible manager and we're delighted to be working with her, so that has to be up to her. We will have those conversations when they're ready to go.' Wiegman, 55, has been England head coach since 2021 and guided the team to two European Championship titles and a runners-up finish at the 2023 World Cup. After Sunday's final, Wiegman said: 'I have been here four years and it just feels like my home away from home. 'I always enjoy it when I'm at work, when I'm in England. 'It is just the people, the sporting culture. 'I really love the sporting culture and the fans, of course. 'It is the connection I have with the people; we are very, very close. The people at the FA, with everyone.' When asked if she had 'fallen in love' with England, she added: 'Yes, I have. 'Otherwise, I would not be sitting here with such a smile on my face.'

Four Lionesses heroes named in Euro 2025 Team of the Tournament including Lucy Bronze who played with broken leg

FOUR heroic England stars have been named in the Euro 2025 team of the tournament. The Lionesses won their second consecutive European title on Sunday with a 3-1 win on penalties over Spain. 6 6 6 Hannah Hampton was the hero, saving two spot-kicks, while Chloe Kelly smashed home the winner once again. Alessia Russo had cancelled out Arsenal team-mate Mariona Caldentey's opener in the second-half to force the clash to extra-time and penalties. And it was the Lionesses who came out victorious, retaining their European crown. Following their impressive win, four England stars have been named in UEFA's team of the tournament. Hampton was considered the best goalkeeper in Switzerland after being named Player of the Match against Spain. Lucy Bronze was also named among the top stars - despite playing the entire tournament with a fractured tibia. After the final, the right-back said: "I actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia, but no-one knew. "I just hurt my knee today on the other leg. That is why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game because I have been in a lot of pain. "But if that's what it takes to play for England, that's what I'll do - they know that. We inspire each other by playing through things like that and it got us to the end, in the end." Russo was considered the best striker at the tournament having scored two and assisted three goals. England's Lionesses return home to heroes' welcome with EURO 2025 trophy 6 6 And Kelly earned a place in the team despite not starting a single match for England. The winger made some crucial goal contributions after coming off the bench for the Lionesses. She assisted Bronze's goal to kick off England's comeback against Sweden in the quarter-finals. Kelly also scored the winner for the nation in last week's semi-final against Italy. And she netted the decisive penalty in the shootout against Spain. At full-time, the Arsenal star said: "I was adamant I wasn't missing two on the bounce. "I was cool, I was composed. I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. I don't miss penalties twice." Spain stars Aitana Bonmati, Alexia Putellas, Patri Guijarro and Irene Paredes also made the team of the tournament, as did Germany duo Franziska Kett and Jule Brand. Italy centre-back Elena Linari completed the squad. 6

‘Feeling loved': how Wiegman turned Lionesses from also-rans to winners

'Who has got the ability to take us right to the top of Everest? That's my job, to find that person for the players, they deserve the best.' Those were the words of Sue Campbell, the Football Association's former head of women's football, in the summer of 2020 as – alongside the chief executive, Mark Bullingham, and technical director, Kay Cossington – she sought to find a new England head coach to replace Phil Neville, who was to leave his role the following year. The Lionesses had reached three consecutive major tournament semi-finals, but kept enduring heartbreak and missing out on an elusive final. The FA's mission was simple: find someone with the knowhow to take the team to the next level. A total of 142 applied for the role, Baroness Campbell said at the time and it was Cossington who first suggested: 'There's this brilliant woman called Sarina Wiegman ... ' The less said about some of the decision-making from people in power in this country in that bleak summer of 2020, the better, but when it comes to that particular appointment, it is now abundantly clear that Campbell, Bullingham and Cossington made the correct choice. Just three tournaments, three finals and two titles later, Wiegman has overseen the transformation of the women's national team's identity into winners, a team oozing belief, with a never-say-die attitude and an unrelenting focus on success. The first thing Wiegman commanded on day one in the job was respect. The England players knew that Wiegman had done something they had not yet done – she had won a major international trophy, with the Netherlands in 2017 – and that made them eager to listen to her every word. Not only a former player at the highest level, she is also a former PE teacher and, as one source close to a squad member told the Guardian on Monday, Wiegman's man-management skills have made her like 'that favourite teacher you had at school' because she has found a balance of being firm but fair, simultaneously being an instructor and a friend. Her motherly side has clearly made new additions to the squad feel at ease. This summer she encouraged them all to open up to each other, to be 'vulnerable' around each other, to grow closer bonds. The 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang said during the Euros: 'I think most people will say, when they work with Sarina, she's like a mum to us, almost. She cares about our wellbeing [and] she's ready to step in and tell us: 'That's not good enough, let's be better.' So I think she has that fine balance and she's put a lot of trust in me, which I'm really grateful for. 'She shows the same type of care to me, who's the youngest, to the oldest, showing the same sort of care to each and every one of us, no matter what our role is, even if we don't play, she's still willing to go and shake your hand and say 'well done', even if we didn't touch the pitch, and that shows we're valued in the squad.' Wiegman's tenure has been defined by the fact that, at every step of the journey, with every decision she has made, however large or small, she has only had one priority: on-pitch performances. With every plan that she and her staff make, from the scheduled time of a training session, to the location of a hotel, to food, rehydration and recovery, right through to the way she can often seem reluctant to give away inside information during press conferences, it all boils down to one thing: what will help the team the most? For a reporter, that performance-first approach might sometimes mean a media session is rearranged at relatively short notice to help the team's training schedule, and so be it, because everything else is secondary. For a player, it means there is very little room for sentimentality. Just ask Steph Houghton, whose exemplary service to the game was not enough for her to be picked by Wiegman if she felt others were in better form. Another crucial aspect has been attention to detail and Wiegman would be the first to say that it is a team effort with her staff. England's analysts have gone into forensic detail on all of their opponents and the benefits have been abundantly clear, whether it be in the homework done to aid Hannah Hampton's preparation to save penalties, or in the notes prepared on how frequently an opponent might cut inside, or in the way players' output in training is monitored to check how well they are performing physically. Every detail counts.

There is a composure to her mannerisms – even when her team are 2-0 down with 12 minutes to go in a Euros quarter-final against Sweden – that would make a player retain their belief even in the middle of a hurricane. That was touched on by the midfielder Keira Walsh this month when she said: 'She's probably one of the best managers I've played for in terms of trying to make everyone feel loved. She really, really cares about the human side. Another thing that you notice when you play for her is how calm she is. It makes a massive difference in the 95th minute when you're losing 1-0, and you look to the side and she's very calm. That speaks volumes of her as a manager.' That calmness has also shone through in the vast majority of Wiegman's press conferences over the past few years, with the 55-year-old never seeming overly pleased when her team were winning games in the run-up to tournaments and, equally, never overreacting when they underperformed or lost. A lot of coaches preach the cliche of never getting too high with the highs nor too low with the lows, but Wiegman embodies that approach naturally. That said, even she allowed herself wry smiles, excitement and jokes of 'having a heart attack' amid the last-gasp drama her team put the nation through this summer. She also made a point of thanking the travelling media, all of her staff, Uefa and the people of Switzerland in a classy speech in Basel, offering a little glimpse into her character. She has two more years left on her contract, for now at least. The journey is not over but she has reached that Everest summit twice already. The view from the top looks good.
