"I think it's a proud day for me and my family and one where I think, once you've taken time from the work I've done at Chelsea, I get the opportunity to reflect on that. I'm really happy to be here," Hayes said. "But when I think about individual honours, I always think about teams and players. So, as I step into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame, I do so with all the players and staff I've worked with over my career, and I'm sincerely appreciative of all of them."
"It [managing the USWNT] has been incredible, it really has," Hayes said "It is like becoming a grandparent, international football. You don't get to see them [the players] all of the time and you send them back to their parents -- or their clubs -- at the end of that period."
Emma Hayes was inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame in Manchester. Hayes won seven Women's Super League titles in 12 years at Chelsea, five FA Cups, two League Cups and a treble in the 2006-07 season. Hayes became United States head coach in 2024 and led the USWNT to a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. Hayes described the honour as a proud day for her and her family and credited players and staff throughout her career. Hayes called international management enjoyable and paid tribute to late coach Matt Beard.
