Sarina Wiegman remains untouchable as England eyes Euro 2025 success

England manager Sarina Wiegman has been described as "not for sale at any price" by the Football Association's chief executive Mark Bullingham. Wiegman has an impressive track record, having reached the final at every major tournament she has coached, including leading the Netherlands to victory at Euro 2017 and reaching the World Cup final in 2019. With England, she also led the team to the Euro 2022 final and the recent 2023 World Cup final. Bullingham emphasized Wiegman's unique coaching credentials and expressed the FA's commitment to her until at least 2027, assuring that Wiegman is just as committed to the team as they are to her.

Wiegman’s influence on England's women's football cannot be overstated. Her unparalleled success has not only elevated the team’s performance but also heightened expectations for future tournaments. Bullingham's strong remarks about her commitment seem aimed at quelling any speculation about her potential departure. Yet, they also highlight a broader trend of organizations desperately holding onto key figures in a competitive sports landscape. With the upcoming Euro and World Cup on the horizon, Wiegman's leadership will be crucial for England’s aspirations.
