Wiegman has been linked with such teams for a while now.
English publication The Telegraph reported in 2023 that the KNVB - the Dutch football association - had privately agreed that she'd be on their shortlist the next time they were looking for a manager for the men's national team.
That same summer, English FA chief executive Mark Bullingham publicly stated that he was open to her taking over the Three Lions: "People always say it's the best man for the job or the best Englishman - why does it have to be a man? I think our answer is always: 'it's the best person for the job'... if that best person is a woman, then why not?"
Both nations - along with many others - will only be more interested in her two years on, now that she's won another European Championship, and they could soon be deciding whether to make a move for her with the contracts of their current men's managers - Ronald Koeman and Thomas Tuchel - expiring after next year's World Cup.
And while it's unclear whether she'd be willing to leave her current role as the manager of England's women's team to move into the men's game, they should offer her the chance.
A remarkable record
Since entering the world of international football as a manager a decade ago, Wiegman has enjoyed a simply incredible amount of success.
First, the Dutch coach led her home country to glory at EURO 2017, and she then took them to the final of the 2019 World Cup, where they were beaten by the United States.
England came calling after that, and she's since led the Lionesses to two European titles (2022 and 2025) as well as a World Cup final (2023) that they lost to Spain.
She's become the first manager in the history of international football - men's or women's - to reach the final of five major tournaments in a row, losing just one of her 30 matches in those tournaments aside from the aforementioned World Cup finals.
It's not like the 55-year-old inherited top sides, either.
When she took charge of the Netherlands, they'd only qualified for the World Cup once and the Euros twice, winning three matches across those tournaments. As for England, they'd never won a major trophy and had reached just one final in the previous 35 years.
The major caveat, of course, is that all of these achievements came in women's football, but while many say that the men's game is of a much higher level and that Wiegman wouldn't be able to succeed in it as a result, there's some evidence that suggests that wouldn't be the case.
A Canadian case study
The most compelling evidence is the case of John Herdman, who took over the Canadian men's national team in 2018 after spending 12 years working in women's international football.
The Englishman began his coaching career in 2006, when he took charge of New Zealand's women's programme. During his time there, the side became the Oceanic champions in 2010 and qualified for both the World Cup and the Olympics for the first time.
He was then hired to lead the Canadian women's team, where he secured back-to-back Olympic bronze medals, a maiden Pan American Games title and a first World Cup quarter-final.
Those achievements convinced the Canadian FA to put him in charge of the men's team in 2018, and they enjoyed their most successful era ever under him.
In his five years in the role, the team qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 36 years, scored their first-ever goal in the competition and were generally hugely impressive in Qatar.
They were desperately unlucky to lose against a star-studded Belgium side that they dominated, and they very much held their own against eventual semi-finalists Croatia and Morocco.
Under someone who had only ever managed in women's football before, they also went on a record-breaking 17-match unbeaten run and reached the top 40 of the FIFA world rankings for the first time.
Another example that works in Wiegman's favour is that of Herve Renard, who has disproven claims from those who have played down the Dutch coach's achievements by arguing that it's much easier to succeed in women's football than men's football.
The Frenchman has enjoyed a huge amount of success in the men's international game, winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Zambia in 2012 and Ivory Coast in 2015 before securing impressive results against Spain and Argentina at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups while in charge of Morocco and Saudi Arabia, respectively.
He then left Saudi Arabia to manage France's women's team, but endured a hugely disappointing 2023 World Cup with them, seeing his side lose to Australia in the quarter-finals. After they suffered elimination at the same stage at the Olympics the following year, he stepped down.
A risk worth taking
All of the above being said, hiring Wiegman would nevertheless undeniably be a huge risk for England, the Netherlands or any other nation at the top of the men's game.
While many of them have given the top job to people with little or no prior managerial experience over the years such as Jurgen Klinsmann, Dunga and Marco van Basten, those people have still had first-hand experience of men's international football.
Whether such experience is more relevant to the job than Wiegman's is very much up for debate, but to appoint someone without it would be unprecedented.
So too, of course, would be appointing a woman, and while that alone wouldn't count against her in a perfect world, many FAs will undoubtedly want to see evidence that a female coach can succeed at the highest level of men's football before hiring one themselves.
One of their biggest concerns would be Wiegman's ability to manage big personalities, because there are bigger stars and thus bigger egos in the men's game than any that she would have experience in her coaching career to date.
While the risk is high though, the reward could be even higher.
If Wiegman can make the transition from the women's game to the men's game as seamlessly as Herdman did - albeit at a lower level - then whoever hires her will have a serial winner and specialist in international football, and there aren't many of them knocking around.
All things considered, if that's your potential winnings, it's worth rolling the dice.
