Chelsea<\/span><\/a>\u00a0manager\u00a0<\/span>Emma Hayes<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is near to signing a contract extension according to\u00a0<\/span>Tom Garry of The Telegraph<\/span><\/a>. The four-time Women’s Super League winner was expected to put pen to paper earlier in the season, but the relentlessness of fixtures in recent months has seemingly delayed the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Successful Season for Chelsea Manager Emma Hayes<\/span><\/h3>\n

A convincing 5-0 win over Reading on the final day of the season confirmed a\u00a0<\/span>third title in four years for Hayes’ side.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0The Blues spent the majority of 2021 battling it out with Manchester City for Super League glory, but a total of 57 points from 22 games gave Chelsea the edge and the eventual title.<\/span><\/p>\n

Completing a domestic double, Hayes’ side also reigned supreme in this year’s League Cup.\u00a0<\/span>A scintillating 6-0 win against Bristol City in the final<\/span><\/a>\u00a0secured a second successive League Cup trophy for the West London club. Chelsea are in with a shout for FA Cup success too with The Blues in the fifth round, and as expected, are a fancied outfit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Up Until Sunday 16, the quadruple was a real possibility for Hayes. Chelsea became the first English side to reach the Champions League final in 14 years but faced a ruthless Barcelona side who\u00a0<\/span>recorded a convincing 4-0 victory.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The Future Remains Bright in West London<\/span><\/h3>\n

Hayes has been in charge of Chelsea since 2012 and will surpass the ten-year mark with a signed contract. The club have continued to back her throughout the years and Hayes has in return, delivered success year after year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the expectations will remain as high as they have been in recent years from a domestic point of view, and given Chelsea’s route to the Champions League final, ambitions for European glory will be just as high.<\/span><\/p>\n
