Sarina Wiegman can thrive as a manager in the higher echelons of men’s football, believes Jamie O’Hara.England Women’s boss Wiegman cemented her greatness with the Lionesses claiming victory over Spain in the final of the Women’s Euros at the weekend. England won back-to-back European Championships with a nail-biting win on penalties over SpainUEFA via GettyMasterminding England’s glory was Wiegman, who’s enjoyed huge success during her four years in the jobGettyIt’s the latest success in a golden period for English women’s football with Wiegman also guiding the team to European glory three years ago, while they reached the final of the Women’s World Cup in 2023.The victory is a third European Championship in a row for Wiegman, who first won it with her native Netherlands in 2017. And O’Hara believes Wiegman is ready to take the unprecedented step of becoming the first woman to manage a club in the English top flight. “Unbelievable from the Lionesses. They’ve made it happen. Unbelievable from Sarina Wiegman as well,” O’Hara said on The Sports Bar.“I was thinking about it and having a conversation with a few people and saying, do you think that Sarina Wiegman… she’s basically completed football at women’s level. The World Cup is one that she might want to get her hands on. She’s come very close to it. “But she’s done unbelievably. She’s won three Euros on the bounce, which is just ridiculous. One with the Netherlands, two with England.“Do you believe that she could manage in the Premier League?”Co-host Jermaine Pennant responded: “It’s a good question. The thing is, Premier League or the WSL is totally different from tournament football. “Like I said, you can play not at your best and manage to scrape through. Over 38 games in the Premier League, you can’t do that.“There’ll come a point where you’ll get found out and you’ll end up in a dogfight, in a relegation battle. So it’s a different test.”O’Hara is adamant that Wiegman is ready for a move into the men’s game if she wants to make that jumpGettyO’Hara added that he believes Wiegman has the tactical nous to manage in the Premier League and her coaching style would see her command respect in a men’s team dressing room. The former Tottenham midfielder said: “If you gave her the right infrastructure, you gave her the right football club, you know, with the players who would respect what she’s about and respect what she’s done, and I think you get that from Premier League footballers. “I genuinely believe that she could handle it tactically. She’s amazing in the press.“Everyone loves her, what she’s about as a manager. She knows what she’s doing. She’s got a really good team around her. “If you put that infrastructure that she’s got with England and you went and said, right, ‘I’m going to go and put this in at a Premier League football club’, I think she’d do well. “I think she could handle it. Wiegman helped secure England Euro 2022 glory, the Lionesses first major tournament triumphGettyWiegman also guided England to the World Cup final in 2023, where they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by SpainGetty“The modern day footballer, I think doesn’t want a Mick McCarthy anymore. They don’t need someone to come in and give them a drill in and get on their case. “She plays great football, style of football. We want to play out from the back. We want to move the ball quickly. She’s very calm. She’s collected. She’s done the business at the highest level. “Tactically, she gets things right. She knows when to make subs. In tournament football, it’s different. I understand. I get that.“I think that she could handle it. “I don’t think it’s different pressure. If you’re going into that Premier League, we’ve seen managers come with successful CVs and some of the other… “It’s only pressure because she’d be the first.”Wiegman and the England players enjoyed a reception at 10 Downing Street on Monday before their victory parade on TuesdayGettyPennant added that a high-profile Premier League switch would be a notable step in Wiegman’s career and set a reminder that other male coaches have often struggled when moving to a bigger team from the one where they enjoyed previous success add.He said: “It’s just because it’s the biggest league in the world. It’s the best league in the world. So that in itself comes with massive pressure. “And it depends on what kind of team you’re at. That’s added pressure. “We’ve seen many managers, like I said, go to Manchester United, go to Spurs and Chelsea and Graham Potter got the sack because it’s just a different step up it’s a big step up you come from a successful making a successful Brighton you go to a massive team like Chelsea. “It’s just I know there’s going through a little transition period but that step up just massive the pressure is totally different.”O’Hara responded: “Of course there’s more pressure in the Premier League. Of course there is. But she’s shown that she can handle pressure, because she’s at the top of what she can… “She’s at the top of where she is in terms of women’s football. Of course. She has completed it. She’s done it. She’s done a lot. “If there was a new challenge for her, this would be the test. Could that be the test, managing the men’s Premier League? And I genuinely believe that she could do it.“But I think if you put the right infrastructure in place, she’ll give it a good go.”Pennant then asked O’Hara if he’d have accepted Wiegman being appointed Spurs boss before they hired Thomas Frank, O’Hara said: “I wouldn’t be against it. Yeah. I genuinely wouldn’t be against it. “I’m being serious. Because respect is earned and she’s earned it.”
