Chelsea WSL Manager Emma Hayes to Leave for United States National Team
Record-Breaking Tenure Comes to an End
Farewell to a Chelsea FC Women Legend
Emma Hayes, the highly successful manager of Chelsea FC Women, will be leaving the club this summer to take charge of the United States women's national team. The announcement was made on Friday, November 4, 2023, bringing an end to Hayes' remarkable 12-year spell with the Blues.
Hayes joined Chelsea in August 2012, replacing Matt Beard after his three years in charge. She immediately set about transforming the team into a powerhouse of women's football, leading them to unprecedented success.
Under Hayes' guidance, Chelsea won five Women's Super League titles, four Women's FA Cups, and two Continental League Cups. They also reached the final of the UEFA Women's Champions League in 2021 and 2023.
Hayes' impact on the club extends beyond trophies. She has played a pivotal role in developing the women's game, both in England and internationally. She has been a vocal advocate for equality in football and has inspired generations of young players.
Chelsea will now begin the search for a new manager to replace Hayes. The club will be hoping to find someone who can continue her legacy of success and build on the foundations she has laid.
