Sarina Wiegman Wins Best Women's Coach Award Amid Capello Name Gaffe at Ballon d'Or

News summary

Sarina Wiegman, manager of the England women's national football team, was awarded the Johan Cruyff trophy for best women's coach at the 2025 Ballon d'Or awards, recognizing her leadership in securing England's second consecutive Women's European Championship. During the ceremony, former England and Russia manager Fabio Capello mistakenly called her 'Sabrina' while presenting the award, an error Wiegman did not address in her acceptance speech. In her remarks, Wiegman emphasized the growth of the women's game, praised the tournament in Switzerland, and called for football to be an inclusive sport that fights against misogyny and racism. She highlighted the importance of maintaining authenticity and inclusivity within the sport and expressed honor in receiving an award named after Johan Cruyff, a Dutch football legend. Capello also presented the men's Johan Cruyff trophy to Paris Saint-Germain's Luis Enrique via video link. Despite the onstage blunder, Wiegman's message focused on unity, progress, and the ongoing journey of women's football.
