Emma Hayes can lead US women’s soccer to Olympic gold despite delayed start

Hayes will leave Chelsea at the end of the WSL season to take the USWNT job, leaving her just four games to prepare before the 2024 Olympics

The only hesitation anyone at US Soccer could've had over the hiring of Emma Hayes to coach the women's national team would be the timing.

Hayes will remain at Chelsea through the end of the club season. Then she'll have only four games in charge before the 2024 Olympics.
