Lionesses manager Sarina Wiegman was awarded the Great Coaching Moment of the Year at the 25th annual UK Coaching Awards for her part in ending England’s agonising 56-year wait for a major trophy.
Held in Leeds on Tuesday evening, the prestigious event recognised the most impactful coaches across the country and celebrates their unflagging efforts in supporting athletes on their sporting journey, promoting physical and mental health on a national scale and their invaluable contributions in high performance sport.
And after a remarkable year at the helm of England Women’s team, in which the squad are relishing a 26-game unbeaten run under the Dutch manager while dousing the 56-year silverware drought on home soil, Wiegman was crowned champion of the Great Coaching Moment of the Year award by a public vote in recognition of her role in England’s Euro2022 glory.
