Sarina Wiegman’s contract as England manager runs until 2027 and the FA chief executive has offered little on if she will remain in position beyond that.
The 55-year-old has led the Lionesses to back-to-back European Championship titles, with the second coming in dramatic fashion on Sunday night.
England beat Spain 3-1 on penalties in Basel after a 1-1 draw between the sides, gaining some revenge for defeat in the last World Cup final at the hands of the Spaniards.
Wiegman is already set to continue in charge for the next World Cup, to be held in Brazil in 2027, but beyond that is yet to be seen.
FA chief exec Mark Bullingham gave little away other than how highly he rates the boss and suggested that it could be down to Wiegman’s choice as much as anything.
‘She’s an incredible person, incredible coach and incredible leader,’ Bullingham told BBC Sport.
‘We’re very lucky to have her, proud to have her as part of the team and obviously she will be working with us for the World Cup.’
On if and when contract talks will be held, he said: ‘It’s a bit early for that.
‘We are delighted she is with us for the World Cup and we will have that conversation at an appropriate time.
‘She is an incredible manager and we’re delighted to be working with her, so that has to be up to her. We will have those conversations when they’re ready to go.’
Bullingham was asked ahead of Sunday’s final if it may be hard to keep Wiegman from looking elsewhere if England did beat Spain, but he was not concerned.
‘Not hard at all. We are committed to her until 2027 and she is committed to us. We have a new [coaching] team coming in for her,’ he said.
‘We haven’t quite started working on the plans for [the 2027 World Cup] but I know her focus, hopefully after success on Sunday, will shift quite quickly to that.’
Wiegman has said of her sensational time in charge of the Lionesses: ‘I have been here four years and it just feels like my home away from home.
‘I always enjoy it when I’m at work, when I’m in England. It is just the people, the sporting culture. I really love the sporting culture and the fans, of course.
‘It is the connection I have with the people; we are very, very close. The people at the FA, with everyone.’
