I wouldn't change a thing - Hayes

Departing Chelsea manager Emma Hayes says she will be "as professional as she can until the end" as her side prepare for the Women's Super League title race going down to the final day.

Hayes' side top the division because of a goal difference that is better by two over Manchester City.

Hayes, whose 12-year spell as manager will come to an end when she takes charge of the United States this summer, said she "wouldn't change a thing" about her time in charge.

"I had my last drive into work today, my office is already cleared out, it's my last coaching session with a group of people who I have built strong bonds with," she said as she reflected on her career in a news conference.

"I wouldn't change a single thing and I am so delighted to get one more training session with my team and one more game and I know for sure we're going to enjoy it."

Chelsea play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday while City take on Aston Villa. All of the league's final matches kick off at 15:00 BST.

It has been a long farewell for Hayes since she announced her intention to leave in November.

She said that dealing with emotion is one of the most difficult parts of being a manager.

Hayes said: "I think staying on top of the emotion is something I'm really good at, but sometimes I really hate that.

"I think you have to do that a lot as a manager, take a lot of emotion out of things which is probably one of the reasons why I'm leaving this job.

"I actually miss 'Emma' and feeling like I don't have to watch every word I say, or worry about what my body language looks like in every situation because of cameras on me."

Hayes has presided over a trophy-laden era for Chelsea since taking charge in 2012.

The Blues boss added she is proud of the "journey" her team has gone on as they become one of the world's best sides.

"Going from nothing, going from an unranked team that was close to relegation, that had no resources, had no facilities, no players that were professional," she said.

"People always like to pick holes at the things you don’t do. What we’ve achieved here is remarkable, considering our starting point. We didn’t have a history in women’s football, we’re now considered one of the top sides in the world."
