Emma Hayes' U.S. women's national team coaching staff is starting to take shape.
Chelsea announced this week that five members of Hayes' staff at Chelsea will follow the coach to the USWNT.
Assistant coach Denise Reddy, goalkeeper coach Stuart Searle, head of performance Bart Caubergh, performance analyst Ferdia O'Hanrahan and opposition analyst Cameron Meighan have all left Chelsea to take up positions on Hayes' staff with the USWNT.
That group will join Twila Kilgore on the USWNT staff, with the team's former interim head coach having returned to her previous role as an assistant.
On Tuesday, Hayes named her first roster as USWNT head coach, selecting 23 players for the team's two friendlies against South Korea next month. Her first game as USWNT coach will be on June 1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Colorado.
Hayes was named as Vlatko Andonovski’s successor in November, but finished out the season with the Blues before taking over. Hayes’ final Chelsea game was over the weekend, as the Blues clinched a fifth straight WSL title.
