England manager Sarina Wiegman acknowledges she is still reconciling with her amazing third straight UEFA Women’s Euro championship.
Once more, the Dutch coach led England to European glory, but she claims the accomplishment hasn’t completely registered.
“I don’t know! It feels very surreal.” Wiegman admitted to Sky News. “I just try to do my best every day, trying to bring people together and I have so much quality around me. It needs to sink in.”
Following the success, No10 Downing Street hosted a reception for the gaffer and the Lionesses. They commemorated their historical success at the richly embellished event.
“It was very special. You don’t come to Downing Street normally and how they built it up like this [with flags and decorations] is very special, to be able to go inside but also into the garden, it was really nice.
“They put up some pictures of us that showed what we had done in the Euros. It was lovely and a very warm welcome,” she added.
Fans all throughout England and the football community have begun advocating for Wiegman to be given an honorary damehood for her outstanding influence. Asked regarding the possibility, she replied quietly.
“I haven’t thought about that. I feel so much respect from England and the Royal Family. It’s very special to get so much respect from England,” she concluded.
As she builds her legacy in the game, the 55-year-old’s successes keep motivating both on and off the pitch.
