Praise for Sarina Wiegmans: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...n-england-womens-world-cup-football-australia Wiegman’s record England fifth consecutive semi‑final in eight years is an impressive record. It also ensured the 2019 World Cup final defeat of the Netherlands by USA remains Wiegman’s only major tournament defeat as an international manager after winning the European Championship in 2017 and 2022 with the Netherlands and England respectively. That is extraordinary. In addition, Wiegman was the last woman manager in the final eight. Should she go on to navigate an injury-hit player pool to a world title then her already undisputed pedigree will only grow stronger. Her adaptability in this tournament, changing formation and personnel, has proved – if any further evidence was needed – that she is adept tactically when needed. American journalists are already calling for US Soccer to break the bank to recruit Wiegman after the team’s failure under Vlatko Andonovski. Win or lose, the Football Association will have to work hard to keep hold of her. 20402

I don't know about the men's team as it may be only rumour and scandalous news to sell newspaper or not. Men's game and women's game has many big differences, one of them is the acting. I'm not saying women players don't act but less so then men. Having say that, 4 finals in the row is very impressive (Euro champion, World Cup loss, Euro champion, World Cup final...). I don't think anyone comes close as the football coach.
