Lauren James Hopes To Send Emma Hayes Off On A High

Written by Oluwaseun Oyediji

England and Chelsea star, Lauren James wants her club to send coach Emma Hayes off on a high note.

More Details

Hayes is set to join the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) at the end of the season as Vlatko Andonovski’s replacement after a dismal World Cup.

Leading the English Women’s Super League (WSL) table on superior goal difference, the London side will meet Arsenal FC in the final of the League Cup next weekend to start their quest to win titles this season.

“Everyone is just obviously trying to win trophies for the club, ourselves, and Hayes who is in her final year so that we could send her off on a high,” James told Sky Sports.

James appreciated her coach for her impact on her career so far.

She said: "She has had an amazing year with the club and she will live on to be a Chelsea legend forever.

"Massive. She understands me as a person. She knows how to get the best out of me. Good and bad days. I think that didn't just come overnight." She concluded.

47-year-old Hayes previously managed Iong Island Lady Ridersz Iona Gaels, and Chicago Red Stars before joining the Blues in 2012.

Meanwhile…

Arguably the most successful coach for Chelsea, FC women, Hayes has had a trophy-laden career with the London side.

She has won six league titles, an FA English Women's Super League (WSL) Spring Series, and whooping five FA Cups.

Added to the above are two Women's League Cup, an FA Women's Community Shield, and the 2021 FIFA Best Coach award.

There might be more titles to be won when she moved to the United States (U.S.) with the national team recently winning the maiden CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup.
