England manager Sarina Wiegman signs contract extension to 2029

England manager Sarina Wiegman has signed a two-year contract extension with the Football Association, committing her future to the Lionesses until the conclusion of Euro 2029.

The 56-year-old Dutch coach's previous agreement was originally scheduled to expire following next summer's World Cup tournament in Brazil. However, this new deal ensures she will remain at the helm through the next major international cycle.

Since replacing Phil Neville in September 2021, Wiegman has enjoyed remarkable success, guiding England to their historic Euro 2022 victory at Wembley, a runners-up finish at the 2023 World Cup in Australia, and successfully defending their European crown by defeating Spain in the Euro 2025 final.

That triumph in 2025 marked the first time any England senior football team, men's or women's, won a major trophy on foreign soil. Furthermore, Wiegman became the first manager in history to reach five consecutive major international tournament finals, including her tenure with the Netherlands.
