Chelsea boss Hayes confirmed as US women's soccer coach

Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has been appointed as the new head coach of the United States in a record deal that will make her the world's highest paid women's football coach, the United States Soccer Federation said.

Hayes, 47, revealed earlier this month she plans to leave Chelsea at the end of the season after a trophy-laden spell in charge of the English club. She expressed her immense honor at being chosen to coach the most incredible team in world football history. Hayes will stay in charge of Chelsea until the end of the Barclays Women's Super League season.
