Emma Hayes, head coach of the US Women's National Team, has drawn comparisons between herself and Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary Manchester United manager. Both managers are noted for their significant achievements and long tenures at their respective clubs, with Hayes winning seven Women's Super League titles at Chelsea and Ferguson securing 13 Premier League titles at Manchester United. Despite their success, Hayes and Ferguson differ in their management styles; Hayes prefers a calm, nonconfrontational approach, while Ferguson was known for his strict discipline. Their mutual respect is evident, with Ferguson being the first to congratulate Hayes on her recent Olympic gold medal win. Hayes has also expressed admiration for Ferguson and hinted at the possibility of coaching England in the future, although she currently enjoys her role in the US. Additionally, Hayes has published a book on leadership, revealing her deep interest in international relations and diplomacy.
