Albion keeper David Stockdale has tipped Nathan Jones for a move into management as the Welshman returns to the scene of one of his greatest triumphs.
Jones was in caretaker charge when he guided the Seagulls to a vital 2-0 victory at Fulham last season in their fight against relegation before Chris Hughton took over.
Jones was subsequently linked with various managerial vacancies and was reportedly interviewed for the post at Plymouth Argyle.
He goes back to Craven Cottage today as Hughton’s first team coach with Stockdale keen to repeat the Jones-inspired Christmas success against the club he played for before signing for Albion.
Stockdale told The Argus: “It’s a great place and if it’s anywhere near as good as it was last year I’ll be happy“For me Leeds United away was the best but I’m a Leeds lad and we played better in that game than any other football wise.
“But Fulham was a good night, becausewe had Nathan in charge of us. He had things to prove and we proved them that night. We really came together as a team.
“The way Nathan held himself around the place when the new manager came in I don’t think it will be long before Nathan becomes a manager himself.
“But that one (Fulham) stands out for me, because he came of age as a coach. Hopefully we can keep him.
