Description

Sarina Petronella Wiegman RON (born 26 October 1969), also known as Sarina Wiegman-Glotzbach, is a Dutch football manager and former player who is the current head coach of the England women's national team.

During her playing career, Wiegman started out as a central midfielder later becoming a defender. 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 appeared 104 times for her country (which was initially recognised by the KNVB), 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 a coaching career with the women's teams of Ter Leede and ADO Den Haag. In 2014, she became assistant manager of the national team. In 2016, Wiegman received her full coaching licence and became the first woman to work as coach at a Dutch professional football organisation. After being appointed head coach of the national team, Wiegman led them to victory at the UEFA Women's Euro 2017. Two years later, she guided the team to a runners-up medal at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. In August 2020, it was announced she would take the job of manager of the England women's national team, starting in 2021.
