SARINA WIEGMAN sent England fans into dreamland in 2022 when she led the Lionesses to Euros glory, and followed it up with a run to the World Cup final one year later.

SARINA READY FOR HER BIGGEST CHALLENGE... DEFENDING THE EUROS

This summer however, presents her biggest challenge yet.

England knew they were getting a winner when Wiegman took over in 2021. They had reached the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup under Phil Neville, but the new boss was brought in with a view to going for glory on home soil.

That's exactly what happened, with the 2022 triumph coming off the back of some eye-catching wins - not least the 8-0 demolition of Norway - and harder-fought victories over Spain in the quarters and Germany in the final.

Only a very good Spain side stopped the manager adding a World Cup in 2023, after England had seen off hosts Australia in the semis.
