That\u2019s [at] Chelsea but that goes so much further than Chelsea, it\u2019s changed the women\u2019s football world. We need more coaches like Emma.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/01\/77584387-12727881-image-a-139_1699491771073.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sarina Wiegman has hailed the influence Emma Hayes had had on English football<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/01\/77584389-12727881-image-a-140_1699491806270.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Hayes (centre) is expected to move to the US next year after an incredibly successful spell as Chelsea manager<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/01\/77584391-12727881-image-a-141_1699491876272.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Wiegman believes Hayes has inpsired the next generation of female coaches<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For the bigger picture of the women\u2019s game it\u2019s good. What you hope, that with her visibility and with more coaches that are visible, that you get more female coaches that can do a great job. It\u2019s a little bit sad for England and Chelsea &#8211; but it\u2019s also good for the women\u2019s game in general.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Hayes is understood to have been offered a contract that will see her earn the same salary as US men\u2019s boss Gregg Berhalter ($1.6million), which would make her the highest-paid manager in women\u2019s football.<\/p>\n<p>Wiegman\u2019s contract with the Football Association is understood to be around \u00a3400,000 a year, significantly less than that of Gareth Southgate &#8211; who earns \u00a35million a year. But Wiegman insisted she feels valued.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Since I\u2019ve come in and worked for the FA I felt treated so equal and it\u2019s not only about money, it\u2019s about the facilities, it\u2019s about the full time staff with the best staff members with quality. All the opportunities we get to perform at our highest level and I feel equally treated and that feels really good.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Wiegman was talking ahead of the launch of her book What It Takes: My Playbook on Life and Leadership which journeys her passion for football and management.<\/p>\n<p>Wiegman, who led England to the Euro 2022 victory and this year\u2019s World Cup final, has often been asked whether she would like to move into men\u2019s football. While this is not currently something she is thinking about, the Lionesses boss believes it is a matter of time before a woman takes a high profile job in the men\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/01\/77584507-12727881-image-a-142_1699491952155.jpg\" height=\"429\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Wiegman is paid significantly less than her male counterpart Gareth Southgate, but still feels valued by the FA<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You know what I think is that in football, it\u2019s still the question of \u201ccan a female coach a male team?\u201d I think in every sector females are in higher positions, so that\u2019s a little bit strange [it isn\u2019t in football].<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think a female can coach a men\u2019s team. My thoughts are not there. I am just really happy in the role I work in now and I am really enjoying it. And, as you say, sometimes I think when I see it (the fame and scrutiny in the men\u2019s game) it is so personal, also with men in the men\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>I think, \u201chow much fun is that?\u201d We know Corinne Diacre coached a men\u2019s team in France and more females also in Italy coached men.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think it is a matter of time and I think when first one [takes a high-profile men\u2019s job], it will be really big &#8211; but I think then more will follow. When I was a little kid I was not allowed to play football as a girl, but now everyone says: \u2018Oh why not?\u2019 Hopefully in 20 years we say: \u2018Why did we think females couldn\u2019t coach males?\u2019 Hopefully that will change quickly.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Wiegman is under contract with England until 2025 but the FA are keen to tie her down to a longer deal. The Dutch coach admitted she is unsure where her future lies but that she is happy in her current role.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/01\/77584579-12727881-image-a-143_1699492034892.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Wiegman has a contract with England until 2025, but does not know what the future holds after that<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I don\u2019t know [what the future holds], that\u2019s a strange answer,\u2019 Wiegman said. \u2018I know exactly what I want and then things just come and I start feeling things. Then I say \u201cokay, I\u2019m starting to think about this\u201d so I guess something changes in me.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m really happy here with the team, with the FA, I get all the support. I have so much expertise around me and I work with the best players and they\u2019re so committed and really enjoying it. I have the impression that they\u2019re still enjoying it too. I\u2019m not thinking, things go so fast in football, time flies too, but I still have a contract for two years. I\u2019m in a good place.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Wiegman, who was the only female coach to reach the quarter-finals of this summer\u2019s World Cup, hopes her book will serve as an inspiration to young girls and women.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When I was 16 years old I didn&#8217;t see any coaches, so I wanted to be a PE teacher, because I didn&#8217;t see any coaches,\u2019 Wiegman said. \u2018What you see, you can be. And now I feel responsible, I have to share some things &#8211; women can see and hopefully they can be too. I hope to inspire lots of women, but if it&#8217;s one, at least it&#8217;s one more than nil.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12727881\/Sarina-Wiegman-insists-Emma-Hayes-anticipated-good-womens-game-hails-incredible-Chelsea-boss-inspiring-generation-female-coaches.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Sarina Wiegman insists Emma Hayes&#8217;
