Sarina Wiegman has once again proven her mettle as one of the greatest football coaches in history. Leading England to the Euro 2025 final against Spain, Wiegman has now reached her fifth consecutive major tournament final. Her journey began with the Netherlands, where she won Euro 2017, followed by a World Cup final appearance in 2019. Since taking over England, she has continued her winning streak, clinching Euro 2022 and reaching the World Cup final in 2023.

The Secret to Her Success

Wiegman attributes her success to the collective effort of her team. "I believe everyone plays their part in the success," she said. Her approach focuses on bringing people together and maximizing their potential. This philosophy has resulted in a remarkable 70% win rate with England, surpassing other notable managers.

Leadership and Team Dynamics

Leah Williamson, England's captain, praised Wiegman's competitive spirit and ability to empower her players. "She’s a winner and she likes to win," Williamson said. Wiegman’s leadership style fosters a positive environment where players feel valued and motivated to perform at their best.

Tactical Brilliance

Wiegman’s tactical acumen has been crucial in navigating tough matches. Her ability to remain calm under pressure and make decisive changes has been pivotal in England’s journey to the final. Players like Keira Walsh and Lucy Bronze have highlighted her consistency and ability to inspire confidence.

Looking Ahead to the Final

As England prepares to face Spain, Wiegman’s focus remains on the present. "She doesn’t look at the end result, but she’s really in the here and now," said Dutch player Liza van der Most. This mindset has been instrumental in her team’s success.

Wiegman’s legacy is cemented not just by her achievements but by her ability to inspire and lead. As she steps onto the field for another final, the football world watches in anticipation of what this tournament magician will conjure next.
