John Terry backed Emma Hayes for the interim Chelsea job

Speaking on Sports Uncensored, the topic of Emma Hayes potentially managing in the men’s game was brought up, which sparked a debate about Chelsea in particular.

Piers Morgan – “When Erik Ten Hag went to Man United or Rosenior went to Chelsea, would Emma Hayes have done a worse job? I’m not convinced.”

John Terry – “No, she would have done better.”

Simon Jordan – “So you would be happy if Emma Hayes got the interim job ahead of you at Chelsea?”

John Terry – “Simon, 100%. I would get that 100%. I would completely understand that decision. She’s way more qualified.”

Emma Hayes has already given her thoughts on the men’s game

Speaking all the way back in 2021, Emma Hayes insisted that there is no difference between the women’s and the men’s game, as well as backing a crossover.

“The football world needs to recognise, while the game is played by a different gender, it’s the same sport.

“The qualities involved with having to manage are exactly the same as it would be for a men’s team. We are talking about human beings.

“There are so many quality candidates that can do the job across the men’s game. We spend too much time talking about gender and ethnicity instead of quality of candidates.”
