Brighton Sack Manager Chris Hughton Despite Premier League

Brighton have sacked manager Chris Hughton after the Seagulls finished 17th in the Premier League. 
They won just three of their last 23 league games and none of their final nine.
Chairman Tony Bloom said that run “put our status at significant risk”.

Hughton, who joined Albion in December 2014, led the club to the Premier League for the first time in 2017, and they finished 15th in their first season back in the top flight.

The 60-year-old, who was contracted until 2021, also took the club to the FA Cup semi-final this season, where they lost 1-0 to Manchester City.

Bloom said:

“Our run of three wins from 23 Premier League matches put our status at significant risk. It is with that in mind, and the performances during that period, that I now feel it’s the right time for a change.

“Undoubtedly, this has been one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make as chairman of Brighton, but ultimately one I have made due to how we struggled in the second half of the season.”

Hughton won 40.93% of his 215 games in charge and was named the Premier League’s manager of the month in March 2018.

  2. Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
    It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's hard to
    get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal.
    I must say that you've done a very good job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Opera.
    Superb Blog! I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours these days, yet I never discovered
    any interesting article like yours. It is beautiful value sufficient
    for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did,
    the net might be much more helpful than ever before.
    It's the best time to make a few plans for the longer term and it's time to be happy.

    I've read this put up and if I could I want to suggest you few interesting
    issues or advice. Maybe you can write subsequent articles referring to this article.
    I want to read more things about it! http://dell.com/
