My Take
Sarina Wiegman is, for my money, one of the most quietly formidable managers in any sport. A former player from The Hague, sharpened by her time at North Carolina, she became the first manager, men's or women's, to reach five consecutive major-tournament finals. If you follow football at all, that number should stop you cold. Taking both the Netherlands and England to the summit speaks to something beyond tactics: a gift for making players believe. What I respect most is her composure; honored with the Order of the British Empire, she stays unshowy. She didn't just win, she shaped an era of women's football.
