00:00 It's been widely reported that you will be the new head coach of the US Women's National Team.
00:06 I think you know what my answer is going to be, I'm not going to comment on that.
00:10 I'm contracted to Chelsea until the end of the season and that's where my commitment lies right now.
00:18 It's always a day that I never really wanted to see come, but I feel like I have to put myself first.
00:28 You dedicate so many hours to this job, not just the drive, and I've given it everything I can.
00:35 Maybe it's about just having something different more than anything else.
00:41 I've taken this team to the top and I always said that I wanted to leave at the top and I'll maintain that.
00:53 That's what I want to do. I would struggle going backwards at any point and then being in that or outstaying my welcome.
01:02 Those things plague me. So it's not actually an easy thing to do, to leave at the top.
01:09 I have a world-class team, but it's something I always made a promise to myself that I would do.
