England Women's head coach Sarina Wiegman has firmly dismissed rumours linking her to managerial roles in men's football, stating she remains fully committed to the Lionesses.
The highly successful Dutch coach, who led England to Euro 2022 glory and the 2023 World Cup final, was asked about potential interest from men's clubs during a press conference ahead of England's Euro 2025 qualifier against France.
'My Focus is 100% on the Lionesses'
"I'm really happy with my job," Wiegman declared. "I have a contract until 2027 and I'm enjoying my work with the team. My focus is completely on preparing the Lionesses for the upcoming qualifiers and beyond."
The 54-year-old tactician has been repeatedly linked with men's teams since her success with England, including recent speculation about the Netherlands men's national team position.
Record-Breaking Manager Committed to Women's Game
Wiegman's achievements in women's football are unparalleled. She's the only manager to win the European Championship with two different nations (Netherlands in 2017 and England in 2022) and has reached three consecutive major tournament finals.
Despite the growing trend of female coaches moving into men's football - exemplified by Chelsea's Emma Hayes being approached by several men's clubs - Wiegman appears content to continue her groundbreaking work in the women's game.
England Face Tough Euro 2025 Qualifiers
The Lionesses begin their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign with a challenging double-header against France, followed by matches against Sweden and the Republic of Ireland. Wiegman's immediate attention is firmly on these crucial fixtures as England aim to defend their European crown.
"We have big ambitions for this team," Wiegman added. "The growth of women's football in England is incredible and I want to be part of taking it even further."
