Emma Hayes says she's 'not looking for another job' amid AFC Wimbledon interest, as she turns down chance to become the first ever female appointment in the Football League

Emma Hayes has committed her future to Chelsea Women, despite rumours linking her to the vacant managerial role at AFC Wimbledon, which could see her become the first woman to ever manage a professional men's team in English football.

The League One side parted ways with manager Glyn Hodges after they lost 2-0 to bitter rivals MK Dons, leaving them in 21st with nine defeats in their last 11 games.

Joey Barton, who left his role at Fleetwood in January, and former Grimsby manager Ian Holloway are amongst several candidates, but Hayes has caught the attention of AFC Wimbledon after creating a dynasty at The Blues.
