Future England Women's head coach manager Sarina Wiegman spoke to the English media for the first time on Wednesday – albeit via video call.
The Dutchwoman was joined by FA chief executive Mark Bullingham as well as our director of women's football, Baroness Sue Campbell, to discuss her appointment.
Wiegman, who was confirmed as the Lionesses' next manager on Friday, said that she will inherit a "world-class" team when she takes over from Philip Neville next September.
The 50 year-old will first see out her tenure as Netherlands head coach and commitment to leading them at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo before taking over the Lionesses.
Wiegman explained to media how excited she was about her new role and the encouraging conversations that took place with Campbell in the build up to her appointment.
She also explained how important it is for her to see out her duties with her home country, having earned 104 caps as a player and leading them to the UEFA Women’s EURO 2017 title and the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup last year.
"England is the cradle of football and there is great potential here," Wiegman said.
"The structure and the way they have developed the game in England, with a big organisation behind it and a professional league.
"There are so many talented players and the facilities are great, but it’s going to be a good challenge to be involved.
"For now I am with the Dutch team and it was very important for me to finish with them but I was triggered when I started talking to Sue.
"I have the nicest job you can think of and when you work with talented and ambitious people that is what I like. Me and Sue got on the same page very quickly."
The former Oranje Leeuwinnen skipper has signed a four-year-deal with the Lionesses and her first tournament in charge will be the prestigious home UEFA Women’s EURO 2022.
And fans will be hoping Wiegman can use all of her experience of winning a trophy on home turf to repeat the trick in England.
"Of course I have the experience of what it does to the country so I am very much looking forward to it," she affirmed.
"Tournaments are the part of the job that make it so exciting.”
She also addressed the prospect of catching up with FIFA Women's World Cup holders the USA ahead of 2023's tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
The Lionesses have reached the semi-finals of the last three major tournaments and the incoming head coach believes her future side has all of the assets needed to start filling up the trophy cabinet.
Wiegman said: "England has a very good team and potential. It's such a good team that they can win major tournaments but you always have to deal with things you can't control.
"The history of the USA is awesome but I think other countries can beat them because it’s just one game.
"In Europe the game is improving so much. We are getting closer and closer and they will need to improve too."
