Emma Hayes, who manages around ’25 men’, thinks she will be perfectly comfortable if she takes her talents to a men’s club or national team. She also criticized men’s clubs aren’t ready to welcome female coaches. However, if the British coach was given an opportunity to coach a men’s team, there’s a snowball’s chance in hell that she accepts the offer. She thinks there’s no grander bet than being the USWNT’s coach in the soccer world right now for her.

Why so? The British coach recently explained the perks of being the US coach in a recent candid conversation. “As far as I’m concerned I am a huge advocate of women’s sport and I’m happy to be coaching at the pinnacle of the game,” said Emma Hayes, during her recent interview on talkSPORT.

The coach then hinted that the support women’s soccer gets in the US, unlike in Europe, is key to her intense affinity for the USWNT job.

“The men’s game is always viewed as the pinnacle. Yet in the United States, being the US Women’s National Team head coach is the pinnacle of the game,” Hayes added.

Thereafter, the former Chelsea boss declared she is quite unlikely to coach the USMNT or any men’s team soon, even if the US starts welcoming female coaches in men’s football. “I don’t think about it. I just want to do this job as well as I can and I’m sure one day it will change but it’s unlikely it will be me,” she added.

Indeed, Hayes is having the time of her life in the US camp after she reclaimed the top spot for the team with the Olympic gold medal win. So it’s no surprise that she won’t leave that job soon. However, she does love to see women coaching men’s teams in the future.

Emma Hayes questions the idea of female coaches not getting chances in men’s soccer

During a BBC talk show, Emma Hayes lamented at the gender disparity in soccer. She said we could see women practicing a myriad of trades, except for being a men’s team manager. “You can’t find a female coach working in the men’s game leading men, just shows you how much work needs to be done,” Hayes said during the show.

She added, “I think it’s just been a place which has just been the large majority have been males. And often people don’t think that maybe a female could manage a dressing room of male characters. I manage about 25 men every day.”

Anyhow, these men are the staff that Hayes works with. Yet she says male players won’t also have problems being led by a female boss unless they bring excellent results. She thinks the mentality surrounding the sport needs rework.

Well, even it changes for the good. The Londoner has bigger plans with her favorite American team for the time being; it seems.
