The winner of the Women’s coach of the year was announced at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
England manager Sarina Wiegman was named as the women’s coach of the year at the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony. Wiegman picks up the honour after leading the Lionesses to back-to-back Women’s Euros glory this summer in Switzerland.
Wiegman steered England to victory on home soil in 2022, before doing it once again this July as the Lionesses defeated Spain on penalties in the tournament’s final in Basel.
“What an honour to get this award after a very special summer, and even more of an insane tournament we had at the Euros in Switzerland,” Wiegman said on stage after receiving her award.
“First of all I would like to thank the players, the staff, the FA and my family for the hard work, the trust and the unconditional support. Without you I would not be standing here.
“The women’s game has grown so far we have broken records. I would also like to thank Switzerland for organising the Euros because it was absolutely insane. This is not just a personal honour, I see it as a recognition of the women’s game, of our journey and where we have come so far.”
