England women's national football team manager Sarina Wiegman has agreed to a two-year contract extension, keeping her with the Lionesses until the conclusion of the UEFA Women's Euro 2029 tournament. The 56-year-old Dutch coach’s previous contract was set to expire following next summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Wiegman has led England to significant achievements during her tenure, most notably guiding the team to their second consecutive European Championship title at Euro 2025. England secured the championship by defeating Spain in a penalty shootout in the final, marking the first time an England side—men’s or women’s—has won a major international trophy on foreign soil.

Reflecting on the extension, Wiegman expressed enthusiasm about continuing her role with the national team. She highlighted the support and ambition within the Football Association (FA) and emphasized her commitment to building upon the team’s recent successes and fostering the ongoing growth of women's football in England.

In recent competitive fixtures, England delivered a dominant 8-1 aggregate victory over Greece, advancing to the second round of the World Cup play-offs. Their upcoming opposition in this stage is Ukraine. A successful outcome in the two-legged play-off would secure the Lionesses’ qualification for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, set to take place in Brazil.

Wiegman indicated that her current priority remains focused on preparing the squad for the World Cup next summer, aiming to help her players realize their potential as they continue to develop in the sport. The extension reflects both the FA’s confidence in Wiegman’s leadership and the coach’s dedication to maintaining England’s competitive stature on the international stage.
