Emma Hayes is leaving Chelsea as a champion — yet again.
The incoming U.S. women’s national team manager clinched a Women’s Super League title with Chelsea on Saturday, hammering Manchester United 6-0 on the season’s final day.
Chelsea entered the last round of WSL fixtures level on points with Manchester City and holding a two-goal advantage on goal differential.
As the Blues won at Old Trafford, Man City also won 2-1 at Aston Villa. But the margin of victory wasn’t enough for Gareth Taylor’s side, which finished as runner-up yet again.
It was a fifth straight WSL title for Chelsea and Hayes, further cementing their status as the dominant force in the competition’s history.
Overall, Hayes has won seven WSL titles to go along with nine other trophies.
Hayes will now fully turn her attention to the USWNT after she was originally named as Vlatko Andonovksi’s successor back in November.
The 47-year-old will soon take charge of her first USWNT camp, as she attempts to navigate a tight timeline ahead of the Olympics in July.
Hayes will coach her first two USWNT matches against South Korea on June 1 and June 4.
There was one potential piece of bad news for Hayes on Saturday, as USWNT star Catarina Macario limped off in the first half of the game.
