Sarina Wiegman’s contract as England manager runs until 2027 and the FA chief executive has offered little on if she’s going to remain in position beyond that.
The 55-year-old has led the Lionesses to back-to-back European Championship titles, with the second coming in dramatic fashion on Sunday night.
England beat Spain 3-1 on penalties in Basel after a 1-1 draw between the perimeters, gaining some revenge for defeat within the last World Cup final by the hands of the Spaniards.
Wiegman is already set to proceed in charge for the following World Cup, to be held in Brazil in 2027, but beyond that’s yet to be seen.
FA chief exec Mark Bullingham gave little away aside from how highly he rates the boss and suggested that it might be right down to Wiegman’s selection as much as anything.
‘She’s an incredible person, incredible coach and incredible leader,’ Bullingham told BBC Sport.
‘We’re very lucky to have her, proud to have her as a part of the team and clearly she might be working with us for the World Cup.’
On if and when contract talks might be held, he said: ‘It’s a bit early for that.
‘We’re delighted she is with us for the World Cup and we can have that conversation at an appropriate time.
‘She is an incredible manager and we’re delighted to be working along with her, in order that must be as much as her. We can have those conversations once they’re able to go.’
Bullingham was asked ahead of Sunday’s final if it could be hard to maintain Wiegman from looking elsewhere if England did beat Spain, but he was not concerned.
‘Not hard in any respect. We’re committed to her until 2027 and he or she is committed to us. We now have a brand new [coaching] team coming in for her,’ he said.
‘We haven’t quite began working on the plans for [the 2027 World Cup] but I do know her focus, hopefully after success on Sunday, will shift quite quickly to that.’
Wiegman has said of her sensational time in control of the Lionesses: ‘I even have been here 4 years and it just seems like my home away from home.
‘I at all times enjoy it after I’m at work, after I’m in England. It’s just the people, the sporting culture. I actually love the sporting culture and the fans, in fact.
‘It’s the connection I even have with the people; we’re very, very close. The people on the FA, with everyone.’
