But with her contract set to run out in 2025, before the next World Cup, Wiegman was asked if this year’s defeat would fuel her to chase success again with England in 2027.
“Four years is a long time,” said Wiegman. “We have a very short turnaround, but we’ll start in September with Scotland and the Netherlands in the Nations League to qualify for the Olympics.”
She later added: “I hope in the future I get a new moment with the team I work with. That would be amazing, because it’s very special to play finals.”
Meanwhile, one of England’s most experienced players, Barcelona full-back Lucy Bronze, 31, was playing in her third World Cup and once again missed out on the trophy.
Asked if she needed some time to decide her future, she said firmly: “I am not retiring from England if that is what you mean.”
After winning Euro 2022, two players, Ellen White and Jill Scott, announced their retirement.
The oldest member of the current squad is Laura Coombs at 32, but her England career is still in its infancy, and it seems unlikely any other players will follow the example of White and Scott this time around.
