‘English association wants to seduce Wiegman with monster salary’ | Football

sport">The 50-year-old Wiegman could make the switch to the FA (possibly only after the Olympic Games postponed next year due to corona). That news will also be released in England this Tuesday.

sport">Earlier this year Wiegman spoke with The Telegraph that she wants to extend her contract expiring next year in principle until the European Championship moved to 2022. “It is still my ambition to play both tournaments to doShe said in May after the coronavirus messed up the international calendar.

sport">Wiegman, however, refused to get ahead of ourselves. In any case, she intended to enter into talks with the KNVB first. “As far as Orange is concerned, not much has happened in between. Yet I think you should get together and give each other an update. ”

sport">A first meeting has now taken place and the KNVB also said that the union would prefer to continue with Wiegman.

sport">“Before the summer holidays, both parties discussed the future after the Olympic Games in 2021. The intention has been expressed to continue in principle,” said a spokesman. A second maintenance will follow after the holiday period.

Big challenge

sport">In any case, it is a great wish of Wiegman to make her appearance at the Olympic Games in Tokyo with the Orange Lionesses. It would close the circle after European Gold in 2017 and silver at last year’s World Cup. Moreover, the Dutch women’s team never participated in the Games before.

sport">It is therefore unlikely that Wiegman will make a switch to the English federation before the summer of 2021. However: the FA is persistent and Wiegman could also start working for the English women’s team after the Games.

sport">The current national coach of the English is former international Phil Neville, but he has to leave and it is still uncertain whether he can lead the team in Tokyo. The English association hopes that Wiegman will be in front of the group in his own country during the European Championship 2022.

Vera Pauw

sport">Earlier Vera Pauw, who made her debut with the Orange women at a final tournament (the 2009 European Championship, ed.), Took her chance abroad after she had shown herself with the Dutch national team. After her work for Orange, Pauw also managed the national teams of Russia and South Africa.
