BRIGHTON SACK MANAGER, HUGHES AFTER FAILING TO SECURE A VICTORY IN 10 GAMES

The managment of Brighton and hove football club have confirmed the sack of Chris Hughton as manager of the club.

Hughton led the Seagulls to their first ever promotion to the Premier League, then kept them in the top flight two years running, but poor form in the second half of 2018-19 cost him his job a day after the season’s conclusion.

Brighton finished 17th in the table after a 4-1 defeat at home to Manchester City on Sunday, a result that confirmed Pep Guardiola’s side’s successful defence of their title.

Chairman, Tony Bloom confirmed Hughton’s departure was down to a series of results that saw Brighton end the campaign without a win in their last 10 games in all competitions.

Hughton’s number two Paul Trollope and his first-team coach Paul Nevin will also be leaving the Amex Stadium and the search for Hughton’s successor is already under way.
