Birmingham City have appointed the former Newcastle boss Chris Hughton as their new manager. The 52-year-old replaces Alex Mcleish who surprisingly quit by email earlier in June and has since joined Birmingham’s fierce local rivals Aston Villa. Hughton beat off competition from the likes of Roberto Di Matteo and Gianfranco Zola to land the job.
