Manager Lee Hughes?

[Joe Jones]

Lee Hughes has applied to become manager of non-league side Worcester City.

From BBC Sport:

The 40-year-old has told BBC Hereford & Worcester that he would be interested in succeeding the long-serving Carl Heeley, who stood down last week after 22 years' service.

Hughes is keen to carry on playing and said: "I just love scoring goals.

"But I'd be up for it. I've spoken to the board about it, outlined my ideas to them and we'll see what they think."

Hughes, who has scored 33 goals in 57 appearances since signing for Worcester in September 2015, intends to start doing his Football Association coaching qualifications this summer. But he hopes that, for now, his vast experience as a player, both on and off the field, will count for something.

"I've played with some top quality managers and I've learnt a lot from them," said Hughes, who has had 28 bosses (not including caretaker managers) in his 22 years in the game.

"I had six or seven in two years at Notts County. I'm well used to managers coming and going. You just have to get on with it."

What do you think about Hughsey's credentials - would he make a good manager? Could we maybe see him at Notts in a couple years time?

Haha... six or seven managers whilst with us, yikes.

He has the right desire and attitude to succeed as a manager, its important he starts somewhere that supports him and that there isn't too much pressure. I think the Non-League would be the right place, if he remained as a player manager - this is one of those things. Can he do that? I'm not sure but I certainly see him becoming a good league manager one day because he just never gives up.

The awareness of the pitch, his understanding of the game is already well developed.

I'd say good luck to him!

PS. Did anyone else think when reading the '40-year-old' and then his goal ratio - Why did we sign Ameobi? Could have just got Lee back (I know, I know what's going to be said).

If he puts the experiences he's had in his career to good use I'm sure he'll do fine, he has to start at a club who already know and respect him e.g no moaners about his conviction, he should alright!

If you count Dave Kevan (who was originally supposed to be taking over for the second half of the season), he played under eight

He never struck me as management material but for a fan it's hard to tell. Good luck to him if he does land the job.

He could be a good manager but the Lee Hughes we knew would have to reign himself in a lot. You cannot act like he does, not as a manager or in the non league.

I do think the hardworking attributes and passion would be good.

Is this the right place to start your managerial career? I am not sure if Worcester City are.

Only one way to find out if he can be a good manager, if he falls of at the first hurdle, he shouldn't give up.

If its something he wants to do, then he needs to persevere and learn. I am sure Notts fans would love to see a successful Lee Hughes as a manager and perhaps one day he may return to take charge of us?
