Sarina Wiegman

Imagine a captain who helps their team win, but instead of playing, they stand on the sidelines and give brilliant ideas! That's Sarina Wiegman. She's a super-smart soccer coach from the Netherlands who makes teams play their very best. She's like a wizard with a soccer ball, but her magic is in her brain and her words!

Before becoming a coach, Sarina was a fantastic soccer player herself! She played for her country, the Netherlands, for many years. She even went to college in America and played soccer there. After she stopped playing, she decided to help other players become champions. She started coaching smaller teams and then got to lead the biggest teams!

Sarina has a special talent for making teams win. She led the Netherlands team to win the big European Championship! Then, she moved to coach the England team, called the Lionesses, and guess what? She led them to win the European Championship too! That's like winning the same big prize twice in a row!

Sarina is famous because she's the first coach ever, for boys or girls teams, to lead their teams to the finals of five big international games in a row. That's like getting to the final round of a competition five times! It shows how good she is at preparing her teams for the biggest challenges.
