Sarina Wiegman's professional career started in 1989 attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, playing for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
The next step in her professional career was in 1994 at Ter Leede, working as a P.E. teacher at the same time, winning two Dutch championships and Dutch FA Cup, where she played until 2003, retiring upon the birth of her second child.
Wiegman stepped into the Ter Leede job in 2006, winning the Dutch Championship and FA Cup in her one season at the club, before moving to her hometown club ADO Den Haag where she stayed between 2006-14, winning the Eredivise and two FA cups during her time at the club.
Wiegman left ADO to become assistant coach of the Netherlands women's national football team, where she had two spells as interim manager, whilst also becoming the first female coach at a Dutch male football team, becoming temporary assistant to Ole Tobiasen at Jong Sparta Rotterdam.
After her second spell as interim Dutch manager, Wiegman was given the job on a permanent basis, ushering in a period of unprecedented success winning the 2017 Euros, 2018 Algarve Cup and being the runner up in the 2019 World Cup.
Leaving the job in 2021, Wiegman replaced Phil Neville and interim manager Hege Riise, becoming the first non-British permanent Lionesses manager in the process.
Wiegman is best known for guiding England to Euro 2022 success, in addition to two Arnold Clark Cups, securing an 86.21% win rate in the process, undefeated in her 29 games as England manager thus far.
