My Take
Emma Hayes is, to my mind, simply one of the great football minds of her era, full stop. Seven Women's Super League titles at Chelsea, including five straight, would cement any manager's legacy, but then she stepped up to the United States women's national team and won Olympic gold in Paris almost immediately. That is not luck; that is mastery that travels. What impresses me beyond the tactics is her command of people, the ability to bind both a club and a national side together. Honoured with an MBE and OBE, she is a genuine standard-bearer for the women's game.
