Really is, he looks after his people. He was brilliant for me that day, and he was brilliant for me when my dad died. Umm, he understood. He’s been through it, and he actually sent me a really emotional message the other day.”

Emma Hayes and Chelsea have a big game ahead of themselves tonight. The side will be eager to grab a win over rivals Liverpool. The Blues are currently at the top of the points table and a win over the Reds will consolidate their position on the standings.

The USWNT announced an official statement on behalf of Hayes, who’s excited to get started with the team. “This is a huge honor to be given the opportunity to coach the most incredible team in world football history. The feelings and connection I have for this team and for this country run deep.”

The Blues head coach then added, “I’ve dreamed about coaching the USA for a long time, so to get this opportunity is a dream come true. I know there is work to do to achieve our goals of winning consistently at the highest levels.”
