Hughton heading north to join Magpies

Friday, 22 February 2008 17:44

Chris Hughton is set to be confirmed as a member of Newcastle United's backroom team.

The 49-year-old lost his job as assistant boss at Tottenham Hotspur in October when manager Martin Jol was forced out at White Hart Lane.

He is expected to replace Nigel Pearson on Kevin Keegan's coaching staff at St James' Park.

Pearson, now manager of Southampton, left Newcastle earlier this month, within weeks of Keegan's appointment.

Hughton spent more than 14 years coaching at Spurs, serving under ten different managers. A former full-back, he began his playing career with the north London club, spending more than a decade there.

He also earned 53 caps for the Republic of Ireland between 1979 and 1993.

Good stuff. I like Hughton. Would love to have seen him take our 21's job. Hopefully he doesnt fall victim to the Newcastle curse...
