QQ Chris Hughton was appointed as manager of Birmingham City on Wednesday, just 10 days after Alex McLeish resigned to take charge of local rivals Aston Villa.Birmingham were relegated from the English Premier League last season while Villa, whose manager Gerard Houllier resigned on health grounds, stayed in the top flight.
Hughton, widely praised for his spell as Newcastle boss, saw off competition from the likes of former West Brom manager Roberto di Matteo in the race to take charge of League Cup holders Birmingham.
A statement on Birmingham's official website said the 52-year-old Hughton, a former Tottenham Hotspur, would take charge with "immediate effect".
Hughton added: "I am absolutely delighted. To be joining a club of the stature of Birmingham City, with the history it has, is a pleasure. I'm really looking forward to getting to work.
"For as long as I have been in football the name Birmingham City has been right up there and it is what I regard as a real football club with extremely passionate supporters.
"There are certain grounds that you go to where you know you are going to be right up against it because of that passion and how vocal the fans are. St Andrew's has always been one of them and if you speak to most people in football they will say the same."
