Sarina Wiegman will be back on our screens as the Lionesses gear up to take on Germany in a friendly match - here's a look at the England manager's life away from the pitch

Sarina Wiegman, the manager of the Lionesses since September 2021, has been instrumental in their success. She made history with the England women's national football team when they clinched the Euros in 2022 and will be back on our screens for a friendly match against Germany, reports OK!

The Lionesses will be playing against Germany on ITV1 tonight (Friday, 25 October), with the likes of Keira Walsh expected to make a return to the pitch. This also marks the return of manager Sarina, 54, who has been supported by her husband, Marten Glotzbach, and their two daughters throughout her illustrious career. Marten is no stranger to football, having worked alongside his famous wife in the sport, boasting impressive credentials of his own. As we gear up to watch the Lionesses, let's delve into Sarina's life off the pitch...

The Dutch-born football coach is married to Marten Glotzbach, believed to be of German descent. While he keeps his age private, he is thought to be around the same age as his wife and holds a bachelor's degree in marketing and commerce, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Marten began his pursuit in economics but soon laced up to follow his wife's path, taking numerous coaching courses to earn his stripes as a qualified football coach. He kicked off his career behind the camera at Host Broadcast Services, capturing sporting events, before moving on to be a youth trainer and coordinator for about a decade.

For the past 23 years, he's taken on the challenge of teaching economics at Sebroek College in the Netherlands, also plotting strategies for the institute's football squads. Rising to fame as the head coach for the Dutch Women’s national team, Marten worked in tandem with his wife until she moved on to lead England's women as their head coach in September 2021.

The duo are parents to two girls, Sacha and Lauren, but prefer to keep their family out of the limelight, with the daughters’ ages remaining under wraps. But Sarina occasionally gives her followers a glimpse into her personal life, sharing holiday pics. "Merry Christmas and a happy 2024!" she captioned a post last Christmas, showcasing her lookalike daughters.

And alongside a beachside snap with her husband, she wrote: "Family time! Different mode than two weeks ago but still enjoying all the amazing footage that's passing by..."
