England women head coach Sarina Wiegman has won the Best FIFA Women's Coach award.
Dutchwoman Wiegman guided England to European Championship glory on home soil last year, the team's first major trophy.
Wiegman wrote her name into English football folklore by leading the Lionesses to a maiden major tournament victory at the Women’s EURO 2022. Wiegman, who masterminded the Netherlands’ EURO triumph in 2017, implemented a dynamic style of play which allowed England’s wealth of exciting talents to flourish.
The Lionesses scored 22 goals across their six matches at the tournament and conceded just twice. When they weren’t sweeping aside opponents with their vibrant attacking play, England dug deep to secure extra-time victories over Spain in the quarter-finals and Germany in the final.
Wiegman boasts a sensational overall record since taking on the role as England manager in 2021. The Lionesses remain unbeaten under her stewardship, having won 22 and drawn four of her 26 matches in charge.
Three-time Best FIFA Women's Coach award-winner Wiegman is the only person to have been honoured with the prize on more than one occasion.
