Sarina Wiegman has signed a two-year contract extension as manager of England Women, committing to the role until the end of Euro 2029.
Her previous agreement was set to expire after the 2027 World Cup.
Wiegman has led the Lionesses to two European Championship titles, including a victory over Spain in the Euro 2025 final.
Under her tenure, England also reached the 2023 World Cup final and won the first Women's Finalissima. Prior to joining England in September 2021, Wiegman won the Euro 2017 title with the Netherlands.
The team is currently working to qualify for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. England will face Ukraine in a two-legged playoff in December after defeating Greece 8-1 on aggregate.
Assistants Janneke Bijl and Arvid Smit, and goalkeeper coach Darren Ward, have also extended their contracts until 2029. The new deal allows Wiegman to potentially lead Team GB at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
