Lioness head coach Sarina Wiegman spoke to 5 Live Breakfast鈥檚 Rick Edwards about Emma Hayes leaving Chelsea and what it means for women鈥檚 football.

Wiegman told Rick that Emma Hayes鈥� impact has been felt at Chelsea FC but also in the wider women鈥檚 football world.

鈥淚t鈥檚 really incredible what she has achieved鈥� We need more coaches like Emma.鈥�

Seeing female managers in both the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 game is important.

鈥淲hat you hope that with her visibility and with more coaches that are visible, that you get more female coaches that can do a great job.鈥�

鈥淲hatever level you coach, we need more women in football.鈥�

Speaking on her own experience of equality in the game, Wiegman said: 鈥淪ince I鈥檝e come in and worked for the FA, I鈥檝e felt treated so equal.鈥�

She went on to say that equality is not just about money and pay. It is also important that facilities and staff members are of the same standard in both the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 game.

鈥淚t's about all the facilities, all the opportunities we get to perform at our highest level.鈥�
