It has been announced that Emma Hayes is set to leave her role as manager of Chelsea Women’s Football Club after eight successful years in charge. The news comes after Hayes was linked with the US Women’s National Soccer Team coaching role, which is currently vacant.
Hayes has been a major part of the success of Chelsea Women’s Football Club since she took over in 2012. During her time in charge, the team have won three Women’s Super League titles, four FA Cups and one League Cup. She has also been credited with helping to bring through some of the best young talent in the women’s game, such as Fran Kirby and Erin Cuthbert.
The news of Hayes’ departure from Chelsea has been met with sadness by many of the club’s fans, who have thanked her for her hard work and dedication over the years. However, there is also excitement about the potential of her taking up the US Women’s National Soccer Team coaching role.
The US Women’s National Soccer Team have had a long history of success, winning four World Cups and four Olympic gold medals. However, they have not had a permanent coach since Jill Ellis stepped down in 2019. Hayes is seen as an ideal candidate for the role, given her track record of success with Chelsea and her experience in developing young talent.
It remains to be seen whether Hayes will take up the US Women’s National Soccer Team coaching role, but it is clear that she will be leaving Chelsea with a legacy of success. Her hard work and dedication over the past eight years have helped to transform the club into one of the best teams in the world.
