Chelsea Women’s Emma Hayes has been nominated for the Barclays FA Women’s Super League Manager of the Month award for December as the Blues recorded consecutive league victories to finish 2022 at the top of the table.
Hayes, Denise Reddy, Paul Green and the coaching team oversaw important victories against Leicester City and Reading, earning six vital points which extended our domestic winning streak to nine matches and maintained our three-point lead at the summit.
We began December with a ruthless 8-0 victory away to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, before returning to home soil against Reading for our final league game of 2022. They provided a stern test as we staved off a second-half fightback to secure a 3-2 victory in freezing wintry conditions.
With 11 goals scored and two conceded, Hayes is nominated for the second month running and goes up against Kelly Chambers of Reading, Arsenal’s Jonas Eidevall and Marc Skinner of Manchester United.
Voting for Manager of the Month is now open and the vote will close at 10am on Friday 6 January.
