Emma Hayes, former Chelsea Women's head coach, discusses the emotional departure from the club and her new role as USA head coach. Hayes acknowledges the challenges of managing expectations and the press at Chelsea but expresses gratitude for her time there. She fondly remembers her final game, a resounding 6-0 victory against Manchester United, and the support of the fans. Hayes is now enjoying a 'new lease of life' in the United States.
Emma Hayes admits she wasn't prepared for how tough leaving Chelsea would be but is enjoying a 'new lease of life' since becoming USA head coach. Hayes announced in January she'd end more than a decade in charge of the Women's Super League champions during one of the tightest title races in the professional era.
I'm the middle child of three, jealousy and envy don't enter my mind, I'm not that person. 'I know the changing room Sonia's got and I'm happy for her, that she gets to enjoy the fruits of many people's labour of a long period of time and put her own stamp on it. 'If Chelsea go onto bigger and better things… oh, that's my perfect story. All those players in the locker room know that about me.
