FA Confirms Sarina Wiegman England Head Coach Through 2027 World Cup

Sarina Wiegman, who led England to victory at Euro 2022 and previously won the Euros with the Netherlands in 2017, is confirmed to remain England's head coach through the 2027 World Cup regardless of the team's performance at Euro 2025. The Football Association, led by CEO Mark Bullingham, has expressed strong support for Wiegman, emphasizing that an early exit from the tournament would not affect her position. Despite the loss of key players such as Mary Earps, Fran Kirby, and Millie Bright, and the departure of her long-time assistant coach Arjan Veurink, Wiegman is viewed as the best person to lead the Lionesses amid a challenging group featuring France, the Netherlands, and Wales. England is among the favorites to defend their Euros title, with the team preparing confidently despite injury setbacks and lineup changes. Bullingham also highlighted the ongoing growth of women's football in England, supported by strong viewership for major events even as some broadcast audiences have declined. Overall, the FA is focused on continuity and long-term development under Wiegman's leadership through the next two major tournaments.
