England boss Sarina Wiegman speaking on stage after winning Women’s coach of the year: “What an honour to get this award after a very special summer, and even more of an insane tournament we had at the Euros in Switzerland.
“First of all I would like to thank the players, the staff, the FA and my family for the hard work, the trust and the unconditional support. Without you I would not be standing here.
“The women’s game has grown so far we have broken records. I would also like to thank Switzerland for organising the Euros because it was absolutely insane.
“This is not just a personal honour. I see it as a recognition of the women’s game, of our journey and where we have come so far. With that recognition we have to take responsibility and try to keep our identity. Being authentic, being inclusive, a place where everyone belongs. I hope we will keep fighting together against misogyny and racism. Sport should always unite and never divide.”
