Sarina Wiegman (born 26 October 1969), also known as Sarina Wiegman-Glotzbach, is a Dutch former footballer, who played as a central midfielder and, later in her career, as a defender. In 2001, she became the first Dutch footballer to gain 100 caps.
After retiring from play in 2003, Wiegman started a managerial career, coaching the women's teams of Ter Leede and ADO Den Haag. In 2014, she became assistant manager of the national team. In 2016, Wiegman received her coaching licence and became the first woman to work as coach at a Dutch professional football organisation.
Currently, she is head coach of the Netherlands women's national football team.
Wiegman was born in The Hague and started playing football on the street at an early age. At the age of six, she joined ESDO from Wassenaar, where she played alongside boys. She also played for HSV Celeritas from The Hague, where she could join the women's team.
In 1987, Wiegman joined KFC '71, where she won the KNVB Cup in the same year.
In 1988, while in China for the 1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament, she met USWNT head coach Anson Dorrance, who invited her to come study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and play for the North Carolina Tar Heels women's soccer team, which was actualised in 1989. At North Carolina, Wiegman played alongside such players as Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly and Carla Overbeck. They became NCAA champions in 1989.
