The women’s game in England is losing its most ardent fighter for change, and will be all the poorer for it...
“It’s busy today isn’t it?” said Emma Hayes with a wry smile as she walked into the media room at ’s training ground in Cobham, on the outskirts of south west London. Many had mused on how Hayes would manage her first public appearance since the announcement of her departure. It could have been an awkward exchange.
She wants the best for her family, a little bit more flexibility and “something different, more than anything else”. “We have lives,” she said. “This is not a selfish decision, this is a selfless decision. This is about putting first some other things in my life. I’m ready for that.” Ultimately, Hayes knows her value and that is liberating. She is taking the next step to fulfil a childhood dream of managing a national team.
