Incoming USWNT coach Emma Hayes says player-to-player relationships on teams are “inappropriate' because they present extra challenges to manage.
Emma Hayes, the incoming coach of the U.S. women's national team, said player-to-player relationships on teams are 'inappropriate' because they present extra challenges to manage, although she acknowledged that 'we’re dealing with human beings.' Hayes is finishing out the season as manager of Chelsea in the Women’s Super League and is expected to make her debut leading the U.S. national team in a pair of friendly matches against South Korea in June.
'But we have to look at it in the context of where the game has come from, and say ‘look we’re in a professional era now’ where the expectations in place for players and coaches is such that all of our focus and attention has got to be on having the top standards.' Player-to-player relationships can be hard to navigate for a coach, she said. 'One player’s in the team, one’s not in the team,' she said in listing some of the situations that can arise.
