5 possible candidates to replace Roy Hodgson as England Manager

#4 Mark Hughes

Hughes has transformed the way Stoke City play football.

If the English FA is still hung up on British managers, maybe they should look to Wales for an answer. Mark Hughes could prove to be a wily choice for a team that is looking to revamp their reputation as underperformers who seem to play uninspiring football.

‘Sparky’ has been at the forefront of a revolution at Stoke City as the Potters have finally shed their reputation as a one-dimensional footballing team that depends eternally on a savage play to strangle teams that they play into submission.

Stoke City, now play a more enjoyable brand of football and their expansive style has also been met with results that they could count as commendable. Mark Hughes has plenty of experience with a top team having managed Manchester City, albeit consistently meeting with flak for not being able to attract top names to a team then recently flushed with ‘oil money’.

Mark Hughes is also a strong character who has as a player, presented himself as a man with winning mentality. With sufficient experience as manager of Wales at the international level, he could turn out to be a smart choice for a team looking to shed some of its own ill-earned reputation.
