Mark Hughes has claimed he could not turn down the opportunity to become Southampton’s new manager after the club confirmed the Welshman as Mauricio Pellegrino’s successor on Wednesday night.

Hughes, who made 60 appearances as a player for Southampton between 1998 and 2000, has signed a deal until the end of the season and it is believed he will earn a £1m bonus if he keeps the club in the top flight.
“It’s a challenge I’m excited by,” Hughes said. “It’s a great opportunity to come back to a club I know well and a club I’ve got real affinity with, and I couldn’t turn that down.
