Emma Hayes joins the Guardian as columnist for Women's Euros 2025
Ahead of the Women's Euros 2025 kicking off in Switzerland on 2 July, the Guardian has announced that football icon Emma Hayes has joined the Guardian's award-winning reporting team bringing the latest action and analysis from every game of the tournament. One of the most successful football managers in history, Emma is head coach of the US Women's national team, Olympic gold-winners in Paris last year, and is the former manager of Chelsea Women, where she won seven league titles, five FA Cups and two League Cups. Emma will be bringing her unrivalled analysis in a series of columns for the Guardian and in a Q&A with readers. Emma's first column will appear online over the weekend of 28-29 June and in a special 32-page guide to the tournament in the Guardian on Saturday 28 June. Emma Hayes says: 'I'm very happy to be part of sharing insights around an unbelievable tournament, with a newspaper I love reading. This is a great opportunity, and not just for me to look at longer-term potential World Cup opponents and get to size that up with you, but also to see the development of football in Europe.' Will Woodward, head of sport at the Guardian, says: 'We are delighted that Emma is joining us for the tournament and we can't wait to see what she has to say. We are well-placed to deliver the richest and deepest coverage of the Women's Euros in another huge summer for women's sport. We also have big plans for the Women's Rugby World Cup – watch this space.' Emma joins our powerhouse team of writers and experts for the tournament, led by Suzanne Wrack, twice named women's sports journalist of the year by the Sports Journalism Awards. Suzanne will be reporting on all the action, alongside women's football writer Tom Garry, sports writer Jonathan Liew, football writer Louise Taylor, European sports correspondent Nick Ames and regular contributor Sophie Downey from the Girls on the Ball website. The Guardian is also publishing a brilliant interactive guide to all 368 players at the Euros, and our experts' network written by local reporters will forensically examine all 16 teams. The Women's Football Weekly podcast, presented by Faye Carruthers with Suzanne Wrack, will be released three times a week during the tournament and our regular women's football newsletter, Moving the Goalposts, will be out twice a week too. The Guardian is the only UK newspaper with two dedicated women's football writers. In 2023 we produced what we believe was the single biggest piece of content ever dedicated to women's sport, an interactive guide to all 736 players at the Women's World Cup.

Priceless at Norwich to outcast at Bournemouth
In 2020, Max Aarons' manager at Norwich City, Daniel Farke, said he wouldn't sell him - even for £ so long ago, Russell Martin's first signing as Rangers boss was one of English football's hot prospects. There was even talk of Barcelona interest in the years later, the full-back was sold to Bournemouth for £ he's out on loan from the English Premier League side for a second time, having spent the latter part of last season at why did he fall out of favour at Bournemouth?BBC Solent's Bournemouth commentator Jordan Clark says it's a bit of a mystery."When Bournemouth signed him from Norwich there were indications he was being brought in as successor to long-serving right-back Adam Smith," said Clark."He was handed a spot in the starting line-up and performed well. Andoni Iraola picked him ahead of Smith until he suffered a hamstring injury. He then struggled to regain his place from Smith who was playing really well."Martin's Southampton then made an offer for Aarons in the summer of 2024, which was rejected by the Cherries. Clearly something happened then because we barely saw him play for Bournemouth since."They signed Julian Araujo that same summer and Aarons slipped down the pecking order with central midfielder Lewis Cook preferred at right-back to cover when Smith and Araujo were injured last season.'"To the best of my knowledge, neither Iraola or Aarons have revealed many details as to why he slipped down the order so quickly."He was called upon a few times last season due to injury problems before his move to Valencia and always performed really well. "He was praised for agreeing to play 45 minutes in the FA Cup to help the Cherries on the same day he flew out to Spain to join Valencia, which shows a lot about his character and mentality."We only saw him in a back four at Bournemouth, but given the amount of running that was demanded of him I'm sure he'd be more than capable of playing in a wing-back role at Rangers."He's clearly a very talented player, but he just wasn't given enough of a chance to show it at the Vitality Stadium.''
