da esport bet： Stoke City have confirmed that Mark Hughes is their new manager and he has signed a three-year deal with the club.
da bet nacional： The former Manchester City and QPR boss was always the favourite to land the role once Tony Pulis’ seven-year stretch as manager came to an end, Hughes has been out of work since being sacked by QPR last November.
His appointment was announced in a brief statement on Thursday morning but the former Manchester United striker will hold a media conference at 11am.
It is unclear how much money he will be handed to strengthen the Stoke squad but it is not expected to be the same sort of riches his predecessor spent and one of his first jobs maybe to oversee the sale of top asset Asmir Begovic.
Peter Coates is looking at a long-term plan with Hughes, saying: “We want to give him time and opportunity.
“We had seven very good years with Tony Pulis, and if we have seven similar years with Mark we will all be delighted.”
