#4 Chris Hughton - Brighton - Appointed on 31 December, 2014
Chris Hughton perfectly fits the saying: always a bridesmaid, never the bride, as he was in the background, as a coach and caretaker manager, in his long spell at Tottenham Hotspur.

After being a part of the backroom staff at Newcastle United, he was appointed caretaker manager when the club was in turmoil, and later made permanent manager. After two spells at Birmingham City and Norwich City, the former Republic of Ireland international was given his current role, as manager of Brighton & Hove Albion, in 2014.
Hughton has worked wonders with his unfancied side, by first securing automatic promotion to the Premier League, and then securing a 15th place finish in the 2017-18 Premier League season, a season where he was also awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month award in February.
