- Ten Hag wished the Lionesses ahead of the Euro final
- Sent a message to Wiegman and her assistant
- England take on Spain on Sunday
Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman has created history by becoming the first manager in the history of men’s or women’s football to reach the final of five back-to-back major tournaments. The 55-year-old has won the last two European Championships with the Netherlands and England, respectively and will now aim to make a hat-trick of European titles.
Ahead of the crucial final in Basel, former Manchester متحد and current Bayer Leverkusen manager Erik ten Hag wished the Lionesses good luck and sent a message to his compatriot Wiegman and her assistant Arjan Veurink, who is set to take charge of the Netherlands women’s team after the tournament.
Speaking to The Athletic Ten Hag said: “Arjan, we grew up in the same region of Twente, and I invited you to some Ajax training sessions in 2020. It’s a success story! Veni, Vedi, Vici — you came, you saw, you conquered. The flagship of Dutch (women’s) football. Based on common sense, pragmatism and hard work. Today, you will put the finishing touches to your work!”
England will have a very special guest at the St Jakob Park on Sunday as the Prince of Wales is all set to attend the final.
