Chelsea manager Emma Hayes says she let herself down with comments about relationships between players.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In a news conference on Thursday, she said player-coach relationships and player-to-player relationships <\/span>are “inappropriate”.<\/span><\/a> and hard for coaches to navigate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking after Chelsea’s Women’s Super League <\/span>win over Arsenal on Friday,<\/span><\/a> Hayes said she regretted her comments.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I let myself down yesterday,” she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I didn’t think it was right for me to use the term inappropriate for the players,” added Hayes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leicester City boss Willie Kirk is being investigated by the club following an allegation of a player-coach relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is understood a complaint has been lodged with the club about an alleged current relationship between Kirk and a player. BBC Sport has approached Kirk for comment regarding the allegation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following Hayes’ comments, Chelsea defender Jess Carter liked a post on X saying it was “beyond bonkers” to bring player-to-player relationships into the conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

England international Carter is in a relationship with Chelsea team-mate Ann-Katrin Berger, while Blues striker Sam Kerr is engaged to West Ham’s American midfielder Kristie Mewis.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Jess and I have had a conversation, as I have with other players within the team,” said Hayes on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I don’t take those things back but I have zero criticism of any player in my dressing room for anything. Their professionalism, for what they’ve given to the club regardless of their status, regardless of who they’re in a relationship with. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve been unbelievably supportive of all of the players. I’ve been a champion for equality and for equity. <\/span><\/p>\n

“As I keep saying to our players all the time, even if we have disagreements in life, we mustn’t play them out publicly.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
