Telegraph: Dutch men’s football team will consider Weigman if she changes to a coach, she will at least enter the candidate list.

Live broadcast, August 22 News Telegraph news, England women’s football coach Weigman will become one of the candidates for Dutch men’s football coach. According to the report, for several months, the head of the Dutch Football Association privately insisted that Weigman would at least enter the list of candidates for men’s coach. After leading the team to the finals of the major women’s football events (two European Championships and two World Cups) for four consecutive times, her candidate qualification is more powerful than ever before. Ronald Coleman, who coached the Dutch men’s football team for the second time, is currently facing great pressure. The Dutch men’s football team lost three of the four games that had been held in 2023. Before that, there had never been a football association or a top club of a top national team that ranked in the top place to appoint a woman as the head coach of the men’s football team. Before the Women’s World Cup final and Spain, Weigman once said that “she has no plan to leave”, and her current contract with England women’s football team will last until 2025. After the World Cup, Antonovsky announced his resignation as head coach of the US women’s football team. The US media regarded Weigman as a potential successor to this position. However, the Telegraph said that for Weigman, the “second invitation” from the Dutch Football Association may be more attractive. As for various rumors of Weigman, Bullingham, chief executive officer of the Football Association, once said: “We will refuse any contact about Weigman, and we hope she can stay in office for a long time.” In addition, Bullingham also said: “Weigman can do anything he wants to do in football, and he is also open to a woman to succeed Southgate to coach England men’s football team.” (Thomas)
