England appoint Hughes as manager
View attachment 110858
Stuart Hughes has been appointed as the New England coach in succession to Gareth Southgate.
The announcement was made at the English FA's headquarters this morning.
in a statement to the press, the FA's chief executive commented that Hughes was the unanimous choice of the FA's selection committee and they fully believed he would be capable of guiding the team successfully to the upcoming World Cup.
Stuart Hughes is reported to be earning £79,000 per week.
Hughes has no previous managerial experience to call upon but, having taken on the job, he will have to prove himself as quickly as possible.
The first match of Hughes's England tenure will be the home friendly against Finland on Wednesday 31st August 2016, ahead of a home World Cup Qualifier against Lithuania on Sunday 4th September.
England fans have taken to Social Media in confusion and bewilderment. Who? they are all asking. Never heard of him.
After the disastrous appointment of Sam Allardyce, and the subsequent sacking of Gareth Southgate, the FA appear to have finally lost the plot with this latest appointment.
