Hayes has the chance to sign off her tenure in familiar fashion, as she has claimed this honour in each of the last four years and has won the accolade six times in total.

In a demanding season which has included a Continental Cup final and a domestic and European semi-final, Hayes has guided Chelsea to be in contention for a fifth consecutive WSL title with two games remaining.

The Blues currently sit second, three points behind Manchester City who have played one game more, and we now have a marginally better goal difference following our resounding 8-0 win over Bristol City on Sunday in Hayes' final home game.

This season will be Hayes' last at the helm, having announced her pending departure in November, and her remarkable 12-years as Chelsea manager was recognised earlier this week when she joined the Shed End legends at Stamford Bridge.

Hayes is nominated for WSL Manager of the Season alongside Liverpool's Matt Beard and Gareth Taylor of Manchester City.

Voting will be open until 10am on Monday 13 May and you can vote for Hayes now here.
