The serial winner is staying. No surprises, just silverware security.

Well, it's official — England are not letting Sarina go anywhere.

As reported by cbinews.Lionesses head coach Sarina Wiegman has signed a two-year contract extension that keeps her in charge through to the end of Euro 2029. The FA announced it this morning

And honestly? It's the best business the FA has done in years.

Let's put some context on this. The 56-year-old Dutchwoman, who turns 57 next week, took over in September 2021 and has completely transformed the Lionesses.

The numbers are just silly:

Back-to-back Euros in 2022 and 2025, a first-ever World Cup final in 2023 where we lost 1-0 to Spain, and if you include Euro 2017 with the Netherlands, that's FIVE successive major finals. No other coach in the women's game is touching that.

She said it herself: "I am so happy to be able to carry on with this squad and cannot think of a better job in football."

This isn't just a tactical appointment. Players like Keira Walsh have publicly begged for her to stay. She's built a culture where players feel safe, backed, and brave. For a generation of young girls who watched 2022 at Wembley, she is the reason they believe they can do it too.

Why it matters, and historical perspective:

Before Wiegman, England Women had never won a major trophy. Decades of near-misses. She ended 56 years of hurt for the women's side in one summer at Euro 2022. This extension is about legacy. It gives the Lionesses stability while the men's game churns through managers, and it signals the FA is serious about dominating, not just competing.

So what does the new deal actually cover? It's not just Euro 2029. It also includes the 2027 Nations League — crucially, that tournament doubles as qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, where Team GB will hope to compete.

Immediate focus though? The World Cup. England face Ukraine in a two-legged play-off in November and December for a place at Brazil 2027. As Wiegman put it, her main concern right now is "giving the country another special summer to remember next year."

In short: Queen Sarina stays. The dynasty continues.
