Scouting Emma Hayes: Breaking down new USWNT head coach based on tactics, managerial style at Chelsea FC

Emma Hayes may be new to international management, but the incoming U.S. women’s national team head coach has a lengthy résumé from her time at Chelsea that provides clues as to how she will fit in with the four-time Women’s World Cup winners.

The England native has decades of experience as a coach, including spending much of the first decade of her career in the U.S., which wrapped up in 2010 with a stint at the Chicago Red Stars during the club’s WPS days. She took on the Chelsea job in 2012 and made a name for herself there and fairly quickly rose to prominence as one of the most recognized club coaches in the women’s game.
