Football

Wiegman has carved a niche for herself as one of the best female football coaches in the world. Her wit, tactical nous, and daring approach to games have seen her become revered in her circle and among her opponents.

She led her native Dutch women's football team to 2017 Euro Championships glory before losing to the United States in the 2019 World Cup final.

A defender during her playing days, she switched to England in 2021, where she successfully defended her European crown but again fell at the World Cup final, losing to a crisis-ridden Spain in 2023.

Wiegman's love for Burna Boy, Ed Sheeran

One of the things that has kept her going despite the heartbreak in Australia is Burna Boy's and Ed Sheeran's songs. Speaking ahead of England's UEFA Women's Nationa League game against her country of birth, the Netherlands, the 54-year-old expressed her admiration for the Afro Beats sensation and Perfect hitmaker.

"My most played song? I don't know the name of the song, but Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran. I have definitely played that song the most," as quoted by Sky Sports.

That song is most likely For My Hand, released on July 8, 2022. It is a romantic song where one promises a loved one to stick by them no matter the circumstances.

Whenever I'm broken, you make me feel whole

Whenever I'm lonely, you're there for my soul

Wherever you are, girl, that's where I call my home

Whenever you doubt it, I'll be lettin' you know

Wiegman's love life

Speaking of romance, Wiegman is married to Marten Glotzbach and has been blessed with two daughters - Sacha and Lauren.

Hello Magazine reports that Glotzbach is a German who used to work with Wiegman during her days in the Dutch Women's team. It is unclear if he took up a similar role when the English FA came calling.

She will be looking to extend some of the love to Bethany Mead, who was recalled for the first time since suffering the damaging Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL) injury last year, which saw her miss the World Cup.

"I'm excited she's back; it's like she's never been away. She always has a smile on her face and connects with the group. She's in a good place."

The Arsenal forward has ramped up her fitness in recent days, which culminated with a brace for the Gunners against West Ham on November 26.

The World Cup finalists are third in League A Group 1 with six points, three behind leaders the Netherlands and one behind Belgium, who surprisingly beat them 3-2 last month.
