Adam Crafton, Meg Linehan and Charlotte Harpur are with Sophie Penney to digest the big news that Emma Hayes is leaving Chelsea, likely for the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT).
After 11 years at Chelsea, winning 13 major trophies, Hayes is primed to manage the four-time World Champions and four-time Olympic gold medallists. She replaces Vlatko Andonovski, who resigned after the Americans’ earliest ever World Cup exit.
