England manager Sarina Wiegman won the Johan Cruyff Award for best manager in the women's game while Hannah Hampton won the Yashin Trophy for the best goalkeeper at the Ballon d'Or awards on Monday.

Wiegman won back-to-back European Championship titles with the Lionesses in July, becoming the first manager to do so.

Dutch legend Ruud Gullit gave out the award and said to Wiegman on stage: "Please, please, please come back to Holland!"

Wiegman replied: "I'm staying in England for a while."

In her speech, Wiegman took a moment to address the work that still needs to be done in the women's game.

"What an honour to get this award after an insane summer," Wiegman said at the ceremony in Paris.

"I would like to thank the players, the staff, the FA and my family for the hard work, trust and unconditional support I got from them. Without you I would not be standing here.

"The women's game has grown so far, we have broken records. I would also like to thank Switzerland for organising the Euros because it was absolutely insane.

"This is not just a personal honour. I see it as a recognition of the women's game and of our journey because we have come so far.

"With that recognition we have to take responsibility and try to keep our identity. Being authentic, being inclusive, a place where everyone belongs. I hope we will keep fighting together against misogyny and racism.

"Sport should always unite and never divide."

Wiegman was nominated alongside Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor and Arsenal manager Renee Slegers.

Meanwhile, Hampton won the inaugural Yashin trophy for her role in Chelsea's domestic treble last season along with her heroics in England's Euro 2025 winning campaign.

Hampton saved two penalties in the shootout against Spain in the final, and also kept out two penalties in their shootout win over Sweden in the quarterfinal.

"Firstly I would like to say a massive thank you to France Football for this award," she said.

"I don't think it's an achievement for me but for women's goalkeeping, that the award is finally now taking part.

"I stand on the shoulders of so many great goalkeepers of the past. Sitting alongside my fellow nominees, I'm proud to be a part of such an incredible group and inspiring future generations of goalkeepers coming through and training so hard.

The 24-year-old also paid tribute to former Liverpool and Chelsea boss Matt Beard, who passed away at the age of 47 on Saturday.

"The women's game sadly on Saturday lost a real trailblazer, Matt Beard," Hampton said. "Matt was someone who cared an awful lot for the women's game when no-one else did. He lit up the room whenever he was in it.

"And this is just a message to show that not everyone should have to go through these dark moments alone. Sometimes the brightest smiles in the room hide the heaviest pain. He'll be greatly missed."
