Hughes takes helm at UK League Two club

Bradford have appointed Mark Hughes as their new manager.

The former Manchester City, Southampton, Stoke and Wales boss takes over from Derek Adams on a deal until 2024 and inherits a team 15th in League Two.

Hughes has been out of work since leaving Southampton in 2018 and will take charge of the match with Mansfield on Saturday.

He told the club's official website: "I am really pleased to be here and am looking forward to the role, and the job in hand. It has been an exciting few days.

"It is maybe a little bit of a surprise that I have come in, but do not be put off by that!

"I am here for a reason: to make Bradford City a team people want to come and watch - and are proud to watch."
