Don't expect England manager Sarina Wiegman to become the next head coach of the United States women's national soccer team. USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski resigned after the team's early exit from the 2023 FIBA Women's World Cup. Despite rumors that the USWNT could look to hire Sarina Wiegman following England's match in the Women's World Cup Final, the manager appears to be staying put.
Wiegman will lead England against Spain Sunday with the 2023 Women's World Cup title on the line. Andonovski and the USWNT were eliminated by Sweden in the Round of 16. It sounds like Wiegman has little interest in looking to help the USA rebound from their World Cup upset.
“I have a contract until 2025,” Wiegman told reporters, via ESPN. “I'm really enjoying my job, and I have the impression that people still like me doing that job. I have no plans to leave.”
