FIFA Women's World Cup 23; what is head coach Sarina Wiegman's net worth as she announces Lionesses' squad

Just under a year ago, Wembley Arena roared to life as the Lionesses ‘brought it home’ to win against Germany in the 2022 Women’s Euros final.

Following their match triumph, the female squad was then able to add the BBC Sports Team of the Year trophy to the cabinet while star player Beth Mead lifted the Sports Personality accolade and Jill Scott was crowned Queen of the Jungle in I'm A Celeb 2022.

All eyes turn once again to the Lionesses as they prepare for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 in Australia and New Zealand, which is set to get underway in just 50 days as England will face off against Haiti on 22 July.

The decision of which ladies will step onto the pitch in two months falls to the ‘best coach of 2022’ Sarina Wiegman, who announced her chosen ‘pride of Lionesses’ at 2pm on Wednesday.

Sarina, who hails from the Netherlands, heads into the World Cup with a wealth of knowledge from her days as a former professional player and coach for her home nation’s team after taking them to the final in 2019.

Alongside Sarina’s wealth of knowledge is quite the net worth as the female England boss is worth between £1-£5 million and is paid £400,000 a year for her role in leading the Lionesses to victory.

Although this salary is reportedly £4 million less than what Three Lions coach Gareth Southgate receives, if Sarina constantly puts the Lionesses on the map with their wins, surely her pay cheque can increase?

Who is in the England Women’s World Cup 2023 Squad?

Trying to clinch their next big win after the Euros victory may take some hard work as a number of key players have since had to bow out of the running for the World Cup due to injury or retirement.

While former captain Leah Williamson and Fran Kirby are ruled out entirely as they are injured, question marks hang around the health of forward Beth Mead and defender Millie Bright.

Ellen White has since retired from the beautiful game and although we will see Jill Scott captain the England side at Soccer Aid 2023, she will not be joining the Lionesses at the World Cup either.

Taking all of this into consideration, here is your England 2023 Women’s World Cup squad announced by Sarina Wiegman:

Goalkeepers: Mary Eaps, Hannah Hampton, Ellie Roebuck

Defenders: Millie Bright, Lucy Bronze, Jess Carter, Niamh Charles, Alex Greenwood, Esme Morgan, Lotte Wubben-Moy

Midfielders: Laura Coombs, Jordan Nobbs, Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone, Kiera Walsh, Katie Zelem

Forwards: Rachel Daly, Bethany England, Lauren Hemp, Lauren James, Chloe Kelly, Katie Robinson, Alessia Russo
