Several English media reported that Emma Hayes was about to become historic as the first woman to train a men's team in the professional British league system.
But for her, it would not be a step up.
On the contrary.
"Something we should celebrate"
In interviews with The Telegraph and the BBC, she says that it is "an insult" to say that AFC Wimbledon in League One would be a step up from Chelsea in the Women's Super League.
She also says that she "is not looking for a new job" and that Wimbledon "absolutely can not" afford her.
- Women's football is something we should celebrate, all achievements and all women.
It is an insult to them that we are talking about women's football as a step down, Hayes tells the BBC.
"That's what I'm disappointed with"
- That's what I'm disappointed with, not that I've been linked with a men's club.
- There are so many qualified candidates who can do the job in men's clubs.
We spend too much time talking about gender and ethnicity instead of focusing on quality.
Magdalena Eriksson, Jonna Andersson and Zecira Musovic play in Chelsea's women's team.
