5 managers who could replace Chris Hughton at Brighton & Hove Albion

#3: Gary Rowett

Gary Rowett will be looking to redeem himself after a tough time at Stoke

Gary Rowett's recent run as Stoke City manager didn't exactly work out as planned.

Having been successful as Derby County manager the previous season, Rowett's move across the Midlands was expected to see him secure promotion for The Potters and finally get himself a shot at Premier League management.

However, it wasn't to be, and having suffered a terrible start to the season, Rowett left the club in January and was replaced by Luton Town's Nathan Jones.

Despite this, Rowett has an otherwise excellent managerial record, having had successful runs as Derby, Birmingham and Burton Albion manager in the past.

While he may not play the prettiest football, he is exactly the kind of manager who could help keep a team in the Premier League and he would no doubt be a cheaper option than many on this list.

A year ago, this would have been seen as an excellent appointment, but given his run at Stoke, a lot of Brighton fans may be underwhelmed with this one.
