Brighton name Hughton as manager

London - Brighton & Hove Albion have named
former Newcastle United boss Chris Hughton as
their manager, the English Championship (second
tier) club said on Wednesday.
The 56-year-old replaced Sami Hyypia who quit last
week following a run of one win in 18 games which
has left Brighton 21st in the standings, one place
above the relegation zone.
"Chris has an excellent record in coaching and
management," chairman Tony Bloom told the club
website.
"Chris is also a manager who has a track record for
developing talent at all levels from academy
upwards and will embrace the work we've been
doing at the club in this area in recent seasons."

Hughton played most of his career as a full back for
Tottenham Hotspur and won 53 caps for Ireland.
He led Newcastle back into the Premier League in
2010 but was sacked the following season.
Hughton managed Birmingham City in 2011-12
before moving to Norwich City and leading them to
11th place in the Premier League in 2013.
He left Norwich in April with the club 17th in the
table and they were relegated at the end of the
campaign.
