Sarina Wiegman has signed a contract extension as England head coach until 2027 with the Football Association agreeing a salary increase that will make her the best paid women’s coach in the world at the moment.

Wiegman, who won Euro 2022 with England and will now lead the team at the 2027 World Cup, has been given a pay rise that reflects her standing as “the No 1 coach in the world”, according to the FA chief executive, Mark Bullingham, and it is understood it is similar to the amount Emma Hayes will be paid when she starts as the new USA women’s coach in the summer.
