The USA tend to play a 4-3-3 and have ever since they made the switch to the 4-3-3 formation after their 2016 Rio Olympics Quarter-final exit. However, in the lead-up to last year’s 2023 Women’s World Cup, previous Head Coach Vlatko Andonovski drew criticism for not trying out different formations. With the loss of Julie Ertz at the holding Center-mid position, the USA struggled to find a player that could fill her shoes, leading to questions about how the midfield would fare in a 4-3-3. The USA’s best performance in the World Cup, arguably, came when they shifted the formation to a 4-2-3-1, with two defensive center midfielders.

In her upcoming book, Emma Hayes said she would have “100 percent” walked away from the U.S. women’s national team head coaching role if U.S. Soccer didn’t allow her to complete the season with Chelsea.
Hayes was named USWNT head coach in November, but insisted upon finishing out the season at Chelsea before taking over.
That meant Twila Kilgore served several months as interim head coach while Hayes coached Chelsea and also kept an eye on the USWNT in the background.
Finally, Hayes joined up with the USWNT in late May after clinching a fifth straight WSL title with Chelsea.
