Emma Hayes' reign as Chelsea manager was nothing short of spectacular, with her helping to transform the club into the dominant side in English women's football following her appointment way back in 2012.Back then, the Blues had little history of success in the women's game, but that would all change dramatically. Before she departed to become the new head coach of the United States women's national team in May 2024, the club won 16 trophies under Hayes' charge.The final of that 16 came in the manager's last-ever match in the dugout for the Blues, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-women-player-ratings-man-utd-emma-hayes-champion-mayra-ramirez-mary-earps-man-city-wsl-title/blte3199e956d1bdcfe" target="_blank">as they sent her off on an almighty high with a Women's Super League title-clinching 6-0 thrashing of Manchester United, at Old Trafford</a>. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/would-emma-hayes-return-chelsea-uswnt-women-s-super-league-champions/blt85c46d0e38d25b0a" target="_blank">Whether the pair will ever work together again, only time will tell</a>, but with Hayes' time as Chelsea manager certainly over, GOAL looks back on every single triumph they enjoyed in 12 incredible years...<script type="application/json" data-placement="fcplayer-semantic">{"type":"fcplayer-semantic","data":{"embedCode":"//cdn.fcp.codes/embed-code-template/embed-code-template.js#SEMANTIC_5704afb8-c10b-4ba5-9cb4-d7fb6098ef90"}}</script>

A record-breaking era! Every trophy Chelsea have won under Emma Hayes

Hayes won her first trophy as Chelsea boss back in 2015, when Ji So-yun's strike was enough to defeat Notts County in the 2015 Women's FA Cup final.It was an historic occasion for many reasons. It was the first Women's FA Cup final to be played at Wembley, it attracted a then-record crowd of over 30,000 fans and it was Chelsea's first major title in the history of its women's team.The only goal of the game was created by Eni Aluko, named Player of the Match on the day, with the England star's mazy dribble ending with her setting up Ji, who bundled the ball in from close range to win the trophy.

Women's FA Cup (2015)

That FA Cup triumph came midway through Chelsea's league season, with the WSL running from spring to autumn until a change in 2017. In 2015, the season began in March and ended in October, and it ended with Chelsea being crowned champions of England for the very first time.A year earlier, the Blues had suffered heartbreak when they lost the title to Liverpool, on goal difference on the final day of the season, but there was no such drama this time around as Hayes' side comprehensively beat Sunderland 4-0 to clinch the title."After the FA Cup final, we have had the confidence of being a winning team. Since the FA Cup final, we've been on a different level," the manager said afterwards. "Tonight was a champions performance, full of character. We looked like champions tonight."

Women's Super League (2015)

When the WSL season transitioned from a summer campaign to a winter one, the 'Spring Series' was organised to plug the gap. The 2016 WSL season ended in September of that year and the 2017 Spring Series then ran a few months later, from February to May, ahead of the 2017-18 season which began in September.<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/OnThisDay?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#OnThisDay</a> in 2017, we clinched the Spring Series trophy! 🏆 <a href="https://t.co/TCKal3qZIf">pic.twitter.com/TCKal3qZIf</a>— Chelsea FC Women (@ChelseaFCW) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChelseaFCW/status/1532728058347630592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2022</a></blockquote>

In the Spring Series, the nine teams in the WSL played each other just once, for a total of eight matches, with there no threat of relegation. There was a trophy to be won, though, and it was one claimed by Chelsea after six wins, one draw and one defeat. Fran Kirby also topped the goal-scoring charts at the end of the competition, with six goals.

Women's Super League - Spring Series (2017)

Chelsea were eyeing up another league and cup double in the 2017-18 season, and they completed the first leg of that challenge in early May with a 3-1 win over London rivals Arsenal.Another then-record crowd turned out for the match, with more than 45,000 in attendance as Hayes' Blues won the competition for the second time thanks to two goals from Ramona Bachmann brace and a strike by Kirby.Bachmann's first goal in particular was a delight, a thumping finish to leave Sari van Veenendaal with no chance, and it set Chelsea on their way to victory, even if Vivianne Miedema pulled one back for the Gunners before Kirby added the third.

Women's FA Cup (2018)

It was just 10 days later that Chelsea completed the league and cup double thanks to a 2-0 win over Bristol City, and they did so without Hayes present, their manager advised not to travel due to the stage of her pregnancy she was at.
Goals from Drew Spence and Jonna Andersson sealed the three points and ensured that second-placed Manchester City could not catch them in the race for the title, while also keeping the Blues' chances of an unbeaten season alive.<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">That trophy lift!! 🏆👌 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CLFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CLFC</a> <a href="https://t.co/gO0rEAdSxD">pic.twitter.com/gO0rEAdSxD</a>— Chelsea FC Women (@ChelseaFCW) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChelseaFCW/status/996486755258916865?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2018</a></blockquote>

That was an achievement Chelsea realised five days later, away at Liverpool. After going 2-0 down inside the first nine minutes, they had to do it the hard way, but three goals in the final 20 minutes of the match saw the Blues end the season without a single league defeat to their name.

Women's Super League (2018)

Despite plenty of success in the FA Cup, Hayes and Chelsea had to wait until 2020 to lift the Continental Cup, the League Cup which is contested by all those in the WSL and the Women's Championship. Opponents Arsenal had won the title five times, but it was the Blues who came out on top on this occasion thanks to Beth England's dramatic late goal.England had given her team an early lead in the game, but Leah Williamson's 85th-minute strike meant the game looked destined for extra-time, that was until England popped up again in the second minute of stoppage-time to win the trophy in the dying moments.

Continental Cup (2020)

That maiden Conti Cup win became part of another league and cup double just a few months later, albeit in rather unwanted circumstances.Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the WSL season was suspended and eventually curtailed, with the outcomes of the season decided on a points-per-game basis. Chelsea were in second place, a point off the pace, when the season was paused. However, they had played a game fewer than leaders Man City and so the points-per-game system put them into the lead and crowned them champions.It was not how the Blues would have wanted to win and they didn't get the chance to celebrate with the fans or each other as they would have liked, either. But it was another title and a very important one, too, as it kickstarted the club's WSL dominance.

Women's Super League (2020)

The Women's FA Community Shield was a regular event in England throughout the 2000s, but it was scrapped after the 2008 edition and seemed unlikely to return. However, it was briefly revived in 2020 - though hasn't been seen since - for a clash between Chelsea and Man City at Wembley.It is a game that has gone down in infamy for the criticism Sam Kerr received for a lack of final product <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/spectacular-community-shield-win-snippet-of-what-chelsea/nwo3q2qea5ep1t1ak8ig2uw59" target="_blank">in what was eventually a 2-0 win for Chelsea</a>, thanks to goals from Millie Bright and Erin Cuthbert. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/wembley-nightmare-distant-memory-world-class-kerr-chelsea-wsl-title/muadpgxq96de1xlsedd7vw0bx" target="_blank">It's fair to say that the Australian striker would go on to prove those doubters wrong</a>...

Women's FA Community Shield (2020)

That Community Shield win was a sign of what was to come from Chelsea in 2020-21, and they continued the charge for a domestic quadruple when they retained their Conti Cup trophy in March.Another big game played behind closed doors while the Covid-19 pandemic continued, Chelsea were absolutely no match for a Bristol City side that would be relegated just a few weeks later, beating the Robins 6-0 at Vicarage Road.Kerr took home the match ball after an impressive hat-trick, but this was a game all about her partner-in-crime, Kirby. The England star was involved in all six goals, scoring twice and assisting the other four as Guro Reiten also got on the scoresheet.

Continental Cup (2021)

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/how-chelsea-and-emma-hayes-won-back-to-back-womens-super-league-titles/bhh1sykqn28n1fmv6155j4igw" target="_blank">Chelsea's third trophy of the 2020-21 season came in May as the Blues clinched a fourth WSL title thanks to a 5-0 win over Reading on the final day</a>. Man City had battled hard to dethrone the London club but ultimately fell just short, finishing two points behind.Goals from Melanie Leupolz, Kirby, Cuthbert and two from Kerr meant there was no chance of final day drama, with City needing Chelsea to drop points in order to stand a chance of taking the trophy to Manchester.There was some individual glory secured, too. Kerr's double took her to 21 goals for the season, in just 22 games, to clinch the Golden Boot while Ann-Katrin Berger's clean sheet was her 12th of the campaign, enough to win the WSL's Golden Glove.

Women's Super League (2021)

Chelsea had to wait a little longer to add another trophy to their 2020-21 season as the FA Cup final was delayed until December 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Fortunately, that extra wait meant they could at least celebrate in front of fans, with over 40,000 in attendance to watch the Blues win the title for the third time.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/rivals-chelsea-justify-hayes-dismissal-of-arsenal-as-women-s-fa-cup-triumph-seals-treble-win/blt62bb13c0c3cd3e5a" target="_blank">Arsenal were hardly a match for the Blues on the day in truth</a>, with Kirby breaking the deadlock inside three minutes. Kerr then got in on the act in the second half with two goals of her own to seal the win and secure the Player of the Match award. It was Chelsea's first domestic treble.

Women's FA Cup (2021)

Chelsea's dominance of English women's football continued in the 2021-22 season as the Blues won a third successive WSL title, beating Manchester United 4-2 in a dramatic final-day encounter to pip Arsenal to the title by a point.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/kerr-class-chelsea-womens-super-league-title-stunning-style/blt957a0c86a62c813d" target="_blank">It was a day all about Kerr as she once again delivered on the big occasion</a>. Kingsmeadow was buzzing with anticipation as the game kicked-off, but the home crowd was soon worrying as United went in at the break 2-1 up. However, their Australian superstar stole the show with two sensational second-half strikes, either side of a goal for Guro Reiten, to give Chelsea a title-clinching 4-2 victory."I don't care about how it goes in or where it goes in, as long as it goes in," <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/kerr-class-chelsea-womens-super-league-title-stunning-style/blt957a0c86a62c813d" target="_blank">Kerr said afterwards</a>. That attitude not only helped her team to another league triumph - it also secured her another Golden Boot.

Women's Super League (2022)

A week later, Chelsea were celebrating another league and cup double, and it was Kerr soaking up the spotlight once again. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/what-a-final-chelsea-s-fa-cup-triumph-proves-women-s-game-is-past-point-of-pandering/blt3a49f4e6efb8505d" target="_blank">The Blues played out a thrilling FA Cup final at Wembley with Man City, one to be decided in extra-time after Hayley Raso's 89th-minute equaliser made Hayes' side wait that little bit longer to lift the trophy</a>.Chelsea had taken the lead twice in the game, first through Kerr and then Cuthbert, but were pegged back on both occasions. However, when Kerr put them 3-2 up in the first half of extra-time, they were determined not to let it slip and the Aussie's second of the day would prove to be decisive. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wembley-trophy-sam-kerr-biggest-chelsea-moments/blt80a79265384db925" target="_blank">It's no wonder she loves Wembley so much</a>.

Women's FA Cup (2022)

Hayes' Chelsea secured a fifth league and cup double in the 2022-23 season, with the cup coming first on this occasion. Manchester United, in their first Women's FA Cup final, were the opponents on this occasion, but it was someone very familiar with the Wembley turf who decided the encounter. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/pernille-harder-winners-losers-chelsea-womens-fa-cup-final-manchester-united/bltb01dff2359aba14b" target="_blank">With 68 minutes on the clock, Kerr was the beneficiary of some brilliant work by substitute Pernille Harder and her finish was the difference between the two sides in a narrow 1-0 win</a>.It was another historic day for the sport as well, with 77,390 in attendance to watch the Blues win a third successive FA Cup. That number not only broke the competition's previous record, it also set a new world record for attendance at a domestic women's football match.

Women's FA Cup (2023)

Less than two weeks later, Chelsea added the league element to that double when they beat Reading 3-0 in a result that also consigned the Royals to relegation. Two goals from Kerr, either side of a strike from Reiten, ensured victory after what had been a difficult season for the Blues.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-fourth-successive-womens-super-league-title-blues-most-impressive/blt0e05c1f1d97b1f4b" target="_blank">Injuries hit Hayes' side hard throughout the campaign and thus made the triumph the most admirable of their four in succession, such was the way they had to adapt as a team and as individuals</a>. However, like the champions they are, Chelsea battled on and emerged top of the pile once again, despite an impressive season for Manchester United seeing them take the title race to the final day.

Women's Super League (2023)

For large parts of Hayes' final season in charge of Chelsea, fans dreamed of an historic quadruple, an almighty achievement only ever realised by one English team before - that the Arsenal women's side that Hayes was at the assistant of back in 2007.Sadly, that dream crumbled quite dramatically in the space of four devastating weeks for the Blues in the spring of 2024, however, Hayes would not bid farewell to the club without adding one more title. It looked like the WSL trophy had got away from Chelsea when they lost 4-3 to Liverpool in early May, but Manchester City's shocking collapse at home to Arsenal just four days later let them back in - and Hayes' side were never going to let that second chance pass them by.An 8-0 demolition of Bristol City just hours after the Gunners' win saw Chelsea overturn the goal difference advantage that Man City had held over them, and they ensured they went into the final day of the season in pole position with a nervy midweek win over Tottenham. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-women-player-ratings-man-utd-emma-hayes-champion-mayra-ramirez-mary-earps-man-city-wsl-title/blte3199e956d1bdcfe" target="_blank">Then, at Old Trafford, the Blues thumped Man Utd 6-0 to ensure the trophy was lifted by them for a fifth successive season</a>.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-bounced-back-quadruple-disappointment-uswnt-bound-emma-hayes-perfect-farewell-wsl-title/bltfe074f59e0cf75a3" target="_blank">Given all the setbacks in other competitions, the heap of injuries Chelsea had to deal with and the raw emotion of the goodbyes, it's no wonder Hayes described it as her sweetest title</a>.
