The management of FA Mark Bullingham says that Sarina Wiegman in England is not for sale

England plans to cling closely to the Sarina Wiegman training, the director of the football association Mark Bullingham saying that it was not for sale at any price.

Wiegman, who is under contract with England until 2027, will lead the lionesses during a third final of the major consecutive tournament on Sunday, Euro 2025.

When asked if it would be difficult to keep the 55 -year -old man after another successful tournament, and if there was a price that would influence the FA to let her go, Bullingham said: “No price at all.

“We are committed to her until 2027, she is attached to us, and I know that her goal, let’s hope, after a success on Sunday, will go fairly quickly to 27” “ He declared Thursday in a press conference Thursday at the base camp in England.

Wiegman is the first manager of the male or female game to appear in five successive major finals, including two with the Netherlands, and Bullingham sang his praises on Thursday.

“His record to reach five finals is phenomenal, I do not think that anyone has been close to that in the past”, “ He added. “I Think that it could be really difficult to do in the future. “”

Bullingham shared a hug with Wiegman after England resulted in their quarter -final against Sweden, scoring two late goals and then on a penalty shootout that included more failures than goals.

Asked what the two shared at that time, Bullingham laughed and said it was not “Everything that can be shared here.”

While Wiegman was greeted for her remarkable record, she was also castigated for her firm selection approach during the tournament, with criticisms pleading for previous substitutions.

“We have a really special coach, and I think we should all recognize it”, ” Said Bullingham. “The tournament record is incredible, but I also see the work it does with the players, the relationships it establishes, the connection it establishes in the camps is phenomenal.

“And just a cool head, and the way she transmits this on the field, she normally resembles the coolest person at the stadium at least. I think she is a really special coach and we are lucky to have it.”

England, with Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, is the only tenderer to welcome the FIFA 2035 women’s World Cup and Bullingham hopes that the team’s success in Switzerland will create a wave of support.

“Our hope is that it will help inspire a more positive momentum for this and for support for that, among the fans across the country also”, “ He said.

“I hope that many more younger girls across the country who will look at 2035 and think:” What a fantastic opportunity for me “.

England had a boost in the number of girls who take football after the victory of the Euro 2022 team, and Bullingham, who also leads to the local level, hopes to see more girls flock to the game after watching the lionesses last month.

“We hope we use this tournament like another trampoline to push further for women’s football and girls”, “ He said. “I saw the impact when we do well in these tournaments, and we are definitely looking for this impact after this one.”
