According to sources, Chelsea Football Club has reportedly identified Sonia Bompastor, currently with Lyon, as their preferred candidate to replace the outgoing Emma Hayes as the head coach. While Bompastor is under contract with Lyon until 2025, Chelsea would need to negotiate a substantial compensation fee to secure her release.
With Emma Hayes set to leave her post at the end of the season to take up the position of head coach of the U.S. Women's National Team, Chelsea is eager to find a suitable replacement. Hayes has made a significant impact on the club since taking charge in 2012, guiding the team to six Women Super League titles and five FA Cups.
