    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    With the win in Geneva, Lionesses boss Weigman created history as she became the first-ever manager in men's or women's football to reach five successive major finals. The Dutch tactician helped the Netherlands reach the finals of the 2017 Women's Euro and the 2019 Women's World Cup. The 55-year-old then guided England to the 2022 Euro and 2023 Women's World Cup finals.
