Emma Hayes Appointed as US Women's Football Team Coach, Becomes Highest Paid Women's Coach

Her salary matches that of the men's team coach, marking a milestone in gender pay equality in the sport.

Emma Hayes, former Chelsea manager, has been appointed as the new head coach of the U.S. women's national football team, making her the highest paid women's football coach in the world.
Her salary is commensurate with that of Gregg Berhalter, the head coach of the U.S. men's national team, marking a landmark moment in the sport for gender pay equality.
Hayes, who has won 14 major trophies at Chelsea, including six Women's Super League titles, will not take over the U.S. team until May 2024, leaving her a short time with the team before the Paris Olympics in late July.
She succeeds Vlatko Andonovski, who resigned following the U.S. team's earliest-ever exit from the Women's World Cup in the round of 16.
Interim coach Twila Kilgore will continue to lead the team until Hayes' arrival, after which she will become one of her assistants.
