Mark Hughes joins City
Mark Hughes is officially the new manager at the Eastlands. Hughes signed a 3 year deal, and is bringing two assistants from Ewood Park to Eastlands. New chief executive of Manchester City had this to say.
'I am delighted to welcome Mark on board. In our view he is the brightest young manager in the game and he was our number one target for the manager's job.'
Cook continued to praise Hughes's vision.
'He made it clear to us from the moment we met that he shared our vision and ambition to make Manchester City one of the top sides in the country. 'The club intends to invest in new players as well as securing the long-term services of key members of the current first-team squad. 'Mark has already identified some of the players and backroom staff that he wants to see here at City, and we will begin the process of recruiting them immediately.'
It looks like City is going to have another big summer.
Sven Introduced as Coach of Mexico
This was a story we broke yesterday, but Eriksson has officially been introduced as the new coach of Mexico. He spoke to the Mexican media, here's what he had to say:
"To help Mexico reach the World Cup is a big challenge. You [Mexicans] have 120 million people and it’s motivating. I like big challenges so it is up to me to convince the supporters and the players that I am the right man."
“My job will be to improve the job the players have been doing and not to change their mentality. I don’t want to talk too much about players as I don’t think it is professional. There is another coach still working.”
He sounds like he is committed to the job, and I certainly don't want to see him on the other side when the US plays Mexico.
