Sarina Wiegman, the head coach of England's women's national football team, has extended her contract to remain in her role beyond the 2027 World Cup. Wiegman, who recently won the FIFA Best Women's coach prize, has been celebrated for guiding the team to a 2022 Euro win and the 2023 World Cup final, where they narrowly lost 1-0 to Spain. Following the contract extension, Wiegman expressed her passion for the job and her desire for more success, stating she has 'unfinished business'. The FA CEO highlighted that Wiegman is 'paid accordingly' as the 'no 1 coach in the women’s game' and was not tempted by other roles. England player Ellen White described the news as 'exciting' and noted Wiegman's hunger for more achievements.
