Wiegman, who was named Coach of the Year (Women) on Monday night for leading the Lionesses to their first-ever European Championship victory abroad in Switzerland, ended her speech on a playful note.
She told the audience, “Let’s celebrate our successes too, and if Burna Boy is around, maybe we could do a little bit of dancing too.”
Reacting in a post on his official X handle, Burna Boy wrote, “haha, I’m up for it Sarina! A huge congrats to you and the team @Lionesses.”
The exchange has since gone viral, drawing excitement from fans of both the coach and the Grammy award-winning singer.
It will be recalled that Wiegman, 55, has openly described Burna Boy as one of her favourite artistes.
