The Womens Super League and Chelsea Women will be beneficiaries of the legacy Emma Hayes leaves behind when she heads for a new challenge in the United States. That was the me sage from Chloe Kelly, Nikita Parris and Rachel Brown-Finnis as the trio looked ahead to Chelsea bo s Hayes leaving Stamford Bridge for the USA Womens head coach role. Hayes is regarded by many in womens football as one of the most influential people in the game and has been in charge of the London club since 2012. Hayes departure date is confirmed for May, when she travels to the USA to take over after their underwhelming 2023 Womens World Cup campaign, and Kelly was quick to credit the Chelsea bo s for her work with the Blues. Speaking at the launch of the first ever Panini Barclays Womens Super League sticker collection at the National Football Museum, Kelly said: I think throughout the years shes been so consistent at Chelsea and playing great football, I think its exciting for her. Its a new chapter of her career and I wish her all the best in that, but of course its a lo s to the WSL, its the top manager that were losing, but hopefully she goes and achieves great things. Hayes has led Chelsea to six WSL titles, five Womens FA Cups, two Continental Cups, the Spring Series, a Community Shield victory and a Champions League final. Emma Hayes to Jack Doyle Jersey depart Chelsea at the end of the season. Chelsea FC Women (@ChelseaFCW) Parris echoed England team-mate Kellys sentiments, adding: She has proven over many years how much of a fantastic coach she is and she will be a ma sive lo s to the league. Chelsea winning the WSL back to back to back, thats some feat and she deserves all the credit that she gets. I wish her all the best in the future, especially when shes not playing against England but I wish her the best for the US. Hayes new role will make her the worlds highestpaid female coach, although there Mo Alie-Cox Jersey will be heavy expectations placed upon her when she cro ses the Atlantic. Hayes first major tournament as USA bo s will be the Olympics next year in Paris, with Twila Kilgore acting as interim head coach until May, becoming her a sistant when she arrives. Shes headed Stateside U.S. Soccer has appointed Emma Hayes as the 10th full-time head coach in history Welcome, Emma! U.S. Womens National Soccer Team (@USWNT) Brown-Finnis believes the legacy Hayes will leave in the WSL and at Chelsea will be clear for all to see, saying womens football will benefit from her influence going forward. Emma Hayes is arguably, in the 12 years shes been at Chelsea, the biggest proprietor of change, Brown-Finnis said at the same event as Parris and Kelly. Thats in her coaching methods, in the succe s that shes bred, the infrastructure that shes implemented at the club, the conversations that shes had with the hierarchy at Chelsea. She has made demands to ensure that change happens from a resources point of view, in the way that people think about womens football at the club and beyond. They are now the blueprint that other WSL clubs, not just WSL clubs, but domestic clubs all around the world are looking at how they conduct themselves, how they interact, how they work as one body and that for me has been the biggest and most solid change. In years gone by, a clubs gone down from the Premier League and the first thing to have been axed has been the womens club. That is history, thankfully. Emma Hayes has been and still is moving things forward, happy to stand toe-to-toe in arguments and debates around football, a subject that she knows as well as any profe sional coach in the game, male or female, and shes a wonderful amba sador and a wonderful pioneer. Shell be a big lo s to the Womens Super League, but I hope eventually shell be back in England, po sibly leading England to World Cup glory.
