Sarina Wiegman extends England contract until Euro 2029

Sarina Wiegman has signed a two-year extension to her contract as England manager, keeping her in charge of the Lionesses until the end of Euro 2029. Her previous deal was due to expire after next summer’s World Cup.

The 56-year-old led England to back-to-back European Championship titles, winning Euro 2022 and Euro 2025. England also reached the 2023 World Cup final, where they lost 1-0 to Spain.

“I am so happy to be able to carry on with this squad and cannot think of a better job in football,” Wiegman said. She added that her immediate priority was helping England qualify for next summer’s World Cup in Brazil.

England beat Greece 8-1 on aggregate last week to reach the second round of the World Cup play-offs, where they will face Ukraine. Winning the two-legged tie would secure their place at the tournament.

Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham called Wiegman an “incredible coach” and said she was the right person to lead the Lionesses into their next two tournaments. [1]
