England should take a look at Chris Hughton as their next manager – according to a touchline rival.
Phil Brown, former boss of next opponents Preston North End, has suggested the Seagulls chief as a potential candidate for the top job if Gareth Southgate does not impress.
He believes Hughton, who is a former Republic of Ireland international but was born and raised in London, has impressed as “a tactician and a technician” in the club game.
Brown expects Crawley boy Southgate to remain in control of the national side if his remaining two games as stand-in go well.
But, if England continue to struggle, the FA net will be cast again.
Brown said: “Chris Hughton comes to mind for me because of the great job he has been doing in the English game.
“He’s a tactician and a technician and he has been at some big clubs both as a player and as a manager.
Well would he ?
Not something I would like to see probably the best manager we have had in sometime and very hard to replace.
