Hughton Madrid bound
Chris Hughton has returned to the footballing management just days after he was sacked by Newcastle United by signing a two year deal with Athletico Madrid. Hughton got this place because former coach Quique Sánchez Flores retired due to drug use allegations. Flores was allegedly arrested late on Friday night after him and his squad had a party at his villa in Madrid.
Many people were a bit shocked at the appointment of Hughton after the club were linked with the likes of Frank Rijkaard , Martin O'Neil and Alan Curbishley. Hughton was also said to be 'delighted' at the chance to get back into management so soon after loosing his place at Newcastle. This is what he had to say on his appointment.
I am delighted to be back so soon after unfortunately loosing my job at Newcastle United, i am honored to the job here in Madrid and i promise to do my all for this club. I will try to break the mold at the top of the table between Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla and Valencia, i wan't us to be playing Champions League football next season. I feel sorry for Flores as i was good friends with him and i don't think he would ever of taken any illegal substance but i don't really wan't to talk about it
