Emma Hayes: I hate questions about links to jobs in men's game
Chelsea Women manager Emma Hayes says she hates being asked about a move into the men's game.
Hayes was appointed as
Chelsea Women'smanager in 2012 and since then she has led the Blues to five WSL titles and as many FA Cups.
Hayes recently was named FA Women's Super League manager of the season. She received the award after being named WSL manager of the year by the League Managers Association.
The 45-year-old Hayes was linked with AFC Wimbledon men's team in 2021 but in an interview with The Athletic, she admit that she hates being asked about coaching a men’s football team.
"Always the ones about links to the men’s game — those are the questions I hate the most,"
she said.
"If Thomas Tuchel was constantly linked to (another job) in the press he wouldn’t be asked about it in the same way, but because there are no females coaching in the men’s game and I’m the one who’s achieved the most, there’s just an automatic assumption that 1) it’s going to happen, and 2) that you can keep asking me that question.”
Chelsea secured a third successive WSL title and beat Manchester City to win back-to-back FA Cups.
