3 reasons why Brighton boss Chris Hughton should be the England manager

Premier League pedigree

Hughton has been woefully mistreated, first by Newcastle United and then by Norwich City. After steering Newcastle to the Championship title, he enjoyed success in the Premier league with The Magpies and were mid-table come December 2010.

However, a swift sacking from the Newcastle board was met with genuine disgust and left a sour taste in the mouth of fans, players and the media.

He received the backing from a wide range of ex-players and media outlets and Newcastle fans even organised a protest at their next home game after the sacking to show their support for Hughton.

After a successful spell at Birmingham City, Hughton become the manager of Norwich and managed to keep them in the Premier League throughout his time at the club, including a remarkable 11th placed finish in his first season with the club.

His sacking again was met with criticism, with The Canaries five points above the relegation zone at the time. 

While Hughton’s success is by no means obvious, all the facts are their leading to why he’d be a perfect fit for the England role in the future.

Having not only the vast experience in playing and coaching, he’s had to deal with club’s in turmoil, restricted budgets and packed schedules and has made a success of it every time, even if he has been unfairly mistreated at times.
