Emma Hayes will leave Chelsea at the end of the season, the WSL club have announced.
Chelsea say Hayes is departing “to pursue a new opportunity outside of the WSL and club football”.
The announcement was made shortly after Hayes’ Chelsea team won 6-0 at Aston Villa to return to the top of the WSL table.
Under her leadership, Chelsea have won six FA WSL titles, five Women’s FA Cups, two FA Women’s League Cups, one FA Women’s Spring Series trophy and one FA Women’s Community Shield.
Hayes also guided the team to a historic double on two occasions and achieved one domestic treble.
