The Emma Hayes era of the U.S. women's national team got off to a fairy-tale start this summer, when the Americans returned to the top of the podium in Paris for the program's fifth Olympic gold medal. Now comes Hayes' primary assignment.
She was hired as head coach to win the 2027 World Cup. That is why U.S. Soccer agreed to let her finish the European season with Chelsea before joining the USWNT less than two months before the Olympics.
With an Olympic gold medal in hand, Hayes is now empowered to make drastic changes as she sees fit for the program's future.
