How the Euros Changed Women’s Football

Wiegman has earned the trust of those she works with as someone renowned for combining an authoritative yet familial management style – she taught PE before embarking on her playing career – with familial warmth off the field. Wiegman thrives when there’s consistency but not afraid to mix things up when needed – she used Ella Toone and Alessia Russo last year against Spain to add brighter finishes.

Adaptability

Wiegman had already established her coaching credentials at Ter Leede and ADO Den Haag before taking over the Oranje permanently just six months prior to Euro 2017. From day one she made an impactful statement by winning both league and cup double that summer before making it all the way to World Cup final.

She’s known to be quite controlling and adept at extracting maximum performance from her players, yet remains mindful that each person needs different things from training sessions. For instance, she used to insist that ADO Den Haag players forbid themselves from listening to music while training – as she believed this was a distraction – for instance

This year has witnessed an outpouring of enthusiasm for women?s football, and this tournament has demonstrated this passion and willingness for change. But it is imperative that this excitement be used not just as an anthem to further gender equality in football but beyond as well.

People skills

England have finally established themselves after years of disappointment at semi-final stage. Fans will always remember Georgia Stanway’s extra-time winner against Spain and Alessia Russo’s inspired backheel against Sweden as moments that inspired generations of football fans alike – male and female alike! England have proven they have the dedication, happiness, and outrageous skill needed to challenge any other nation on the pitch.

Wiegman stands out as a pragmatic manager who adapts her strategies and systems based on what works for each opponent, which has helped turn the Lionesses into a formidable force.

Calm and unassuming in front of and behind the camera, Wiegman serves as an effective mentor to her players. She offers honest, open, and direct feedback to her squad – Leonne Stentler who played under Wiegman at ADO Den Haag noted how her eyes “can’spit fire” when giving an instruction; an effective style of management.

Belief in the team

England fans, both young and old, will never forget the night they witnessed their Lionesses rewrite European history books. They will remember Alessia Russo?s audacity in scoring her backheel goal against Spain during a semifinal, as well as Georgia Stanway?s extra-time winner with fondness.

Wiegman has done remarkable work shaping this team into something greater than its sum. She never hesitates to call for tactical adjustments under pressure and her calm authority makes her an appealing figure in the changing room.

She possesses an unwavering humility that allows her to see the bigger picture. While many coaches develop an arrogant Messiah complex and feel they alone possess all of the answers, she remains humble enough to view each match as an issue to be tackled with whatever resources are at her disposal. Furthermore, she has an obvious sense of mission and purpose, along with knowing how best to motivate her players.

Tactical excellence

Understanding why any team excels in a major tournament can be difficult, and numerous factors often play into its success. One key to England?s success has been their tactical excellence.
