Diana, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2021, passed away just three weeks before Euro 2022.

"Would women be capable of coaching men? Of course. But I don’t have a goal that I want to coach men," she said. “ every step you take, you’re being watched and you’re being valued and judged, and I sometimes wonder: how much fun is that?”Wiegman will be back in the dugout leading England when The Lionesses take on The Netherlands on December 1 on matchday five of the UEFA Women's Nations League.
