USWNT APPOINTS CHELSEA'S EMMA HAYES AS NEXT HEAD COACH

The U.S. women's national team aimed high and landed a top target. The USWNT on Tuesday announced Emma Hayes as the squad's next head coach, a few months after Vlatko Andonovski stepped down following a disappointing 2023 World Cup exit. Hayes, who is currently managing Chelsea of the Women's Super League in England, will be the nation's 10th full-time head coach in program history. Contract figures were not made public, but the USWNT said Hayes is set to become the highest-paid women's soccer coach in the world.
