    WHAT WEIGMAN SAID

    "I didn't expect this so I don't know the name of the song," said a surprised Wiegman when asked which song topped her Spotify Wrapped playlist, after the release of the popular music streaming feature yesterday. "But it is the song with Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran. I definitely played that song the most." Who would have thought the Lionesses boss was a big Burna fan?

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Wiegman's comments come as she prepares her team for a crunch match in the UEFA Nations League against her home country, the Netherlands. The Lionesses will be desperate to right the wrongs of the team's previous clash with the Oranje in September, when they were beaten 2-1 after a late winner from Renate Jansen.

    WHAT NEXT FOR WIEGMAN?

    There's been plenty of speculation about Wiegman's future recently, with widespread talk about the Euros-winning boss succeeding Gareth Southgate as England Men's manager. According to the Lionesses coach, it is a "matter of time" before a female coach takes charge of a top men's team in England, although she refused to be drawn on the potentially vacant Three Lions role.
