Women’s manager encourages men to ‘bring it home’Lionesses in final two games for Euro 2025 qualification
Sarina Wiegman has urged England’s men’s team to “bring it home” after they reached the Euro 2024 final but said her “orange heart hurt” after Ollie Watkins’s late goal knocked out the Netherlands.
“You want a political answer?” the Lionesses’ manager quipped when asked about her feelings after England’s 2-1 win over her home country. “To be really, really honest, I wish the very best for Gareth [Southgate] and his team. We are colleagues, but it did hurt a little bit, my orange heart hurt.”
