England manager Sarina Wiegman won the Johan Cruyff Award for best manager in the women's game 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.
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique won the men's award after his side's Champions League and Ligue 1 success.
PSG won Europe's top club competition for the first time, beating Inter Milan 5-0 in the final.
