England coach Sarina Wiegman aims for fairy-tale ending to Women’s World Cup

When England won a place in the 2023 Women’s World Cup final, the team’s Dutch manager Sarina Wiegman became the first-ever coach to reach the last match of the tournament with two different nations. After losing in the final with the Netherlands in 2019, a win for the Lionesses against Spain will see Wiegman claim a trophy that many see as richly deserved. 

Wiegman is no stranger to big football finals. As manager, she has already won the European Cup with the Netherlands in 2017 and again with England in 2022. She also led the Netherlands to the World Cup final in 2019, but not to victory, a blemish on an otherwise impressive career.
