Sarina Wiegman will '100 per cent' manage in the Premier League or Championship one day, insists Darren Bent as the former England striker says both the Lionesses boss and Chelsea's Emma Hayes will 'get an opportunity at some stage'

Darren Bent has said he '100 per cent' believes Sarina Wiegman will lead a men's side in the top two divisions of the football pyramid in the future.

The 52-year-old has been widely praised for her tactical work leading England to the Euro 2022 trophy, both with the starting 11 for each game, and her substitutions.

It has ignited conversation around the potential for female managers to work at the top level of the English game - which also usually mentions Emma Hayes, who has won five WSL titles in a decade with Chelsea.
