When he was playing, the 46-year-old was a big favorite of the Elland Road supporters, and he assisted the team in winning promotion from League One in 2010. Following his retirement, he has dabbled in coaching and occupied several positions within the hierarchy.
At Huddersfield Town, he helped David Wagner, and he later met up with the German again at Norwich. The former midfield player was a member of Garry Monk’s Sheffield Wednesday squad in addition to having worked for Rotherham United and Sheffield United.
According to BBC Sport’s Nick Mashiter, he is anticipated to sign with Leicester, thus it looks like he is ready for a new challenge in the Premier League. In response to Chelsea’s move for Enzo Maresca, the Foxes just appointed Steve Cooper as their new head coach.
According to reports, Hughes has been contacted about joining Cooper’s coaching staff as Leicester tries to establish themselves once again in the top division. Hughes’ three-year tenure at Carrow Road would come to an end with a move to the King Power Stadium.
He started off with the Canaries in 2021, managing player route development and loans. Following Wagner’s dismissal of Dean Smith, Hughes volunteered to coach alongside his old Huddersfield teammate.
