Sarina Petronella Wiegman OON CBE (Dutch pronunciation: [saːˈrinaː peːtroːˈnɛlaː ˈʋixmɑn]; born 26 October 1969), also known as Sarina Wiegman-Glotzbach,[3][4][5] is a Dutch football manager and former player who has been the manager of the England women's national team since September 2021.[6][7][8]

In her playing career, Wiegman started out as a central midfielder[9][10][11] before moving to defence.[9] In 1989, she attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she played for the North Carolina Tar Heels women's soccer team. Returning to the Netherlands, she joined the women's team of Ter Leede in addition to her job as a physical education teacher. With Ter Leede, she won the Dutch championship and the KNVB Cup once.

Wiegman represented the Netherlands from 1987 to 2001. Although she was capped 104 times for her country (which was initially recognised by the KNVB),[10][12][13] caps won against non-FIFA-affiliated opponents resulted in her official cap total standing just short of a century at 99.

After retiring in 2003, Wiegman began her coaching career with the women's teams of Ter Leede and ADO Den Haag.[4][7] In 2014, she became the assistant national coach of the Dutch women's team.[7] In 2016, Wiegman received her full coaching licence and became the first woman to work as coach for a Dutch professional football team.[7] After being appointed as the head coach of the Dutch national team, Wiegman led them to victory at the UEFA Women's Euro 2017.[14] Two years later, the team became runners-up of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[15] In August 2020, it was announced that Wiegman would manage the England women's national team from September 2021 following the end of Phil Neville's contract.[6] She remained manager of the Netherlands for the Olympics, hoping to bring home a medal at the 2020 Olympics, but the Netherlands were eliminated at the quarter-final stage. She then became the England manager and led the Lionesses to victory at the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 on home soil. It was the first trophy for an English senior team of either sex since the men's team won the 1966 FIFA World Cup.[16]
