According to FA, they will “100% reject” any overtures, as stated by Sarina Wiegman.

The CEO of the Football Association, Mark Bullingham, has stated that there is no chance of accepting any offers for the role of England manager offered to Sarina Wiegman.

Since his appointment in 2021, Wiegman has guided England to the final of the Women’s World Cup, which comes only one year after the team won the European Championship in 2022.

She is the only coach in history to lead two different teams to the final of the World Cup, having done it with the Netherlands in 2019.

“It has nothing to do with money. We are quite pleased with her, and I get the impression that she is as well,” said Bullingham.

After the United States was eliminated from the World Cup in the round of 16, head coach Vlatko Andonovski announced his intention to resign. Wiegman has been mentioned as a possible contender to take over for Andonovski.

“We’ve heard a lot of rumors, and it’s common knowledge that she has exceptional ability. According to Bullingham, “she has a contract with us that runs until the year 2025.”

“She is doing quite well. It goes without saying that we are a significant part of her support team, and we can only hope that she feels the same way about us. She is the kind of person that would be an asset to our team for a very long time.

The story of how England spoiled Australia’s celebration and advanced to the final.

The “fairytale” run that England and Wiegman are having in the World Cup continues.

When asked whether there had been conversations about a new contract with Wiegman, Bullingham responded by saying, “We’ve always stated we’d get to it after a tournament.” Following the conclusion of the Euros, we had some interesting discussions.

“There will come a moment when it is proper to do it. There is some space in our schedule for this activity. After this, she’ll probably want to treat herself to a nice vacation.”

There has been some forward movement on the plans for the Wiegman monument. According to FA women’s technical director Kay Cossington, Wiegman and assistant coach Arjan Veurink have “embraced the England DNA across all of our teams” and have had “a wonderful influence.”

Since England’s victory in the European Championship, the Football Association (FA) and Brent Council have discussed the possibility of erecting a monument of Wiegman in front of Wembley Stadium.

We’ve made some headway on that front, and I think it would be fitting to erect some kind of monument to our accomplishments in the area around Wembley Stadium. According to Bullingham, “it’s really about the complete team.”

“You are going to have to go through a variety of permits — we’ve already done that. Working on the design is the next step in the process.

When asked whether Wiegman might possibly replace Gareth Southgate as the head coach of the men’s national team, Bullingham responded by stating that Wiegman “could do whatever she wants in football.”

“First of all, I believe it’s a little unfair to the Lionesses to present it as a step up,” said Bullingham. “I think it’s a bit of a step down.”

People are continuously saying that this individual is “the best guy for the job.” Why must there always be a male in charge? “It’s the best individual for the job,” is how we always respond to this question.

A conversation has to take place about the player perks.

Before boarding their flight to Australia, England’s players voiced their exasperation with the FA on the organization’s attitude on performance-related incentives.

The Lionesses, who are not expected to get incentives, put a hold on conversations during the competition, but it is expected that they will resume those discussions when they return from Australia.

Bullingham said that “we are going to settle things out after the competition.” They had a very good argument before the World Cup and they still have a very strong case after the World Cup, but the fact of the matter is that there is still room for debate.

When asked why the negotiations did not result in a resolution, he provided the following response to the BBC sports correspondent Dan Roan: “Fifa were quite late in releasing the prize money for the tournament, and the bonuses usually come off of that.”

Because of it, we were unable to reach a conclusion with the players before we arrived at this location and finalize the deal. They then requested that it be parked until after the competition, and thus we have complied with their request.

Nothing has changed as a result of it. The mood in the camp is fantastic, our connection is fantastic, and the two most important things are that we are all on the same page towards winning the tournament and expanding the women’s game.

The team that won the World Cup on Sunday will get £3,357,000 in prize money from Fifa, while the side that came in second place will receive £2,359,000.

The players on the winning squad will each get £211,277, while the players on the runners-up team will receive £152,600 apiece.

According to Bullingham, the “commercial discrepancy between men’s and women’s players is still considerable,” but the FA is “committed to spending ahead of income” in an effort to attempt to close the gap.

“Wiegman makes a good living at the market she manages,”

Despite her recent success, there have been inquiries about the reason why Wiegman’s remuneration does not match that of the men’s manager Southgate.

“I am able to answer your query. According to Bullingham, “if you look at the discrepancy in the market and the revenue coming in, that is the reason why you’ve got a difference.”

“We don’t discuss about people’s salary but I would say that Sarina is, given the market she works in, highly compensated. When compared to the men’s game, the market for women’s sports is much different.

“It is my sincere hope that those markets will eventually combine, but we are not there yet. That is the goal that we have set for the long term, and we need to work toward it.

In the meanwhile, England goalkeeper Mary Earps expressed her disappointment that supporters are unable to purchase a copy of her jersey.

When asked whether the FA had brought up the matter with Nike, the company that makes the kits, Bullingham responded by saying, “It’s not something we’re going to go into today.” However, this is something that will be handled not too long after the conclusion of the competition.

“Mary talked quite strongly about it, and we want to expand goalkeeping because we believe it’s important to establish role models. It is something that we are working toward, but it is not something that we are going to reveal right now.

The Lionesses are scheduled to depart Australia on Monday, and if they are victorious against Spain, there may be celebrations planned in London for the next day or the day after that.

Leah Williamson, the captain of the England team that will compete in Euro 2022 and who was sidelined by injury during the World Cup, is expected to be in Sydney to attend the last match, although Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and FA President Prince William will not be there.

James Cleverly, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Lucy Frazer, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport, will be present.
