Sarina Wiegman wins Best FIFA Women’s Coach Award for third time after Euro 2022 victory with England

Sarina Wiegman won The Best FIFA Women’s Coach Award for a third time after leading England to glory at Euro 2022.

Wiegman is unbeaten since taking charge of England in 2021, recording 22 wins and four draws from her 26 matches.

The Lionesses scored 22 goals across six matches at Euro 2022 as they won their first major trophy.

Wiegman also won the award in 2017 and 2020 when she was in charge of the Netherlands.

Lyon boss Sonia Bompastor and Brazil head coach Pia Sundhage also made the final three nominees.

Lyon won the league title and Women’s Champions League in Bompastor’s first full season as manager while Sundhage led Brazil to Copa America Feminina glory in 2022.

There was more success for England as goalkeeper Mary Earps won the Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper Award.

Manchester United’s Earps played every minute of Euro 2022, keeping four clean sheets and conceding just two goals.

Lionel Scaloni won The Best FIFA Men’s Coach Award following Argentina’s World Cup win.

Scaloni has only lost once in his past 43 matches as Argentina coach, a group-stage defeat to Saudi Arabia in Qatar which the team bounced back from to claim their third World Cup.

He also signed a new deal until 2026 on Monday, which will take him through the next World Cup in USA, Canada and Mexico.

Carlo Ancelotti was also in contention after Real Madrid won La Liga and the Champions League, along with Pep Guardiola after he guided Manchester City to a fourth Premier League crown in five seasons.

Argentina’s Emiliano Martinez won the Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper Award.

Martinez, who won the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper at the 2022 World Cup, beat Morocco’s Yassine Bounou and Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois to the award.

Marcin Oleksy won the Puskas Award, becoming the first amputee player to win it.

Olesky scored with a leaping scissor kick while playing for Warta Poznan.

Dimitri Payet and Richarlison were also nominated.
