Emma Hayes speaks out about gender pay gap for football managers

"I don't get paid like Jurgen Klopp!"

Currently in charge of the USWNT, Hayes recently led them to a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Paris.

She took the huge role following a successful 12 year spell at Chelsea filled with trophies.

After her long stint with the Blues, she stated that she wanted to have a break - but couldn't afford it.

Speaking to talkSPORT, she stated: ‘I don’t get paid what Jurgen Klopp gets paid for me to take a sabbatical year!

‘I have to pay the bills. But at the same time, I’ve got to do the job that I’ve dreamed about doing my whole life and yes, a break would have been optimal.’

Guiding Chelsea to seven Women's Super League titles and five Women's FA Cup trophies, Hayes is a highly decorated manager.

Now, she has one of the top jobs in football - the manager of the world-class USWNT.
