Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has agreed a new contract with the club according to reports on The Blues’ official website.
The 44-year-old is a Chelsea legend after guiding the club to a whole host of trophies while The Blues made history in reaching a first-ever UEFA Women’s Champions League final in May.
Hayes is regarded as one of the very best managers not only in England but in European and world football and Chelsea have therefore been very keen to keep her at Kingsmeadow for the long term. Talks have been ongoing with Hayes on her new deal for a while with the Londoner finally putting pen to paper today.
Speaking after signing her new contract, Hayes said “Everyone knows what this club means to me. The work we’ve done together over the last nine years has been hugely rewarding, full of growth of the women’s game, accompanied with winning, which is one of the club’s key values. I really look forward to keep building on the successes we’ve already achieved and I’m delighted to have extended further.
“It’s been a year and a half without fans, so I can’t wait to welcome them back to our home and share with them the wonderful team we’ve built together.”
In her time with Chelsea, Hayes has won five league titles (including the 2017 FA Women’s Super League 1 Spring Series), two Vitality Women’s FA Cups, two FA Women’s Continental League Cups and the FA Women’s Community Shield.
