(Reuters) -New Netherlands women’s coach Arjan Veurink said tears were shed in an emotional farewell after a long spell working with Sarina Wiegman and the England team.

The 38-year-old served as Wiegman’s assistant for eight and a half years, first with the Dutch before following Wiegman to England in 2021 and winning two European Championships in a row.
