She felt a strong desire to apply for the coaching position when it became available, ultimately fulfilling a long-held aspiration.
Wilkinson stated, "This is a wonderful team, great people, fantastic footballers, and we're going to be tested against some of the best in the world."
Wilkinson emphasized, "It will be right up there in the greatest moments of my career to stand there and watch these women take the field."
Reflecting on her past, she shared, "I thought what an amazing opportunity it would be, but I had already verbally agreed to another job."
