"When later sitting down to speak to the Guardian, Hayes issues words of warning to the sport, namely that it must learn lessons from the death of her predecessor at Chelsea, Matt Beard, after the shock news of his death at the age of 47 last month. It's a football community in mourning. It's a huge loss, Hayes says. Mental health is a silent killer and coaches are human beings,"
