Emma Hayes has been named the new head coach of the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) on a $1.6 million-a-year contract, making her the highest-paid women's soccer coach. She will take over at the end of the current Women's Super League (WSL) season. Her final UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL) campaign with Chelsea is underway. The appointment has sparked discussions about her fit for the USWNT, with expectations of her leadership, experience, and the evolution of style. There are uncertainties about her immediate involvement with the USWNT, and her assistant, Twila Kilgore, is already preparing for her arrival next summer.
