Jonas Eidevall Comments on Emma Hayes Rift

Jonas Eidevall, the newly appointed head coach of the San Diego Wave, has expressed that he currently has 'no relationship' with Emma Hayes following their altercation after last season's Continental Cup final, where Eidevall's Arsenal defeated Hayes' Chelsea. The incident involved Hayes pushing Eidevall and accusing him of displaying 'male aggression,' a claim he found disappointing. Eidevall stated he won't initiate contact to mend the rift, feeling he has done nothing wrong, and criticized Hayes for not reaching out to discuss the matter since the incident. Both coaches now work in the U.S., with Eidevall emphasizing the lack of communication between them, even during his time at Arsenal with U.S. defender Emily Fox. He reflected on their previously good relationship, which deteriorated after the clash and subsequent comments. Eidevall resigned from Arsenal after a poor start to the season but hopes to progress with San Diego Wave.
