Sarina Wiegman extends England Women contract through Euro 2029

Sarina Wiegman will remain England Women manager until the end of Euro 2029 after agreeing a two-year contract extension with the Football Association.

Wiegman’s previous deal was due to expire after next summer’s Women’s World Cup, but the new agreement will keep her in charge of the Lionesses for the next two major European Championship campaigns.

The Dutch coach has led England to consecutive European Championship titles. They retained the trophy by beating Spain in the 2025 final, having first lifted it under Wiegman in 2022 after a 2-1 victory over Germany at Wembley.

That success also made England the first senior national team, men’s or women’s, to win a major tournament away from home.

England are one step away from qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil. They beat Greece 8-1 on aggregate and now face Ukraine in their final qualifying match.

Wiegman took charge of England in September 2021 and guided them to the 2023 Women’s World Cup final in Australia, where they lost 1-0 to Spain.

She also became the first female manager to reach five major international finals. Before joining England, Wiegman led the Netherlands to victory at Euro 2017 and to the 2019 Women’s World Cup final.

“Wiegman is a fantastic coach with an unrivalled record in major tournaments, and there is nobody better to lead the team into the next two competitions,” said Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham.

Wiegman was named the world’s best women’s coach in 2025 for the third time, having previously won the award in 2022 and 2023.
