How’s your first touch, Mark Hughes?

The Bradford City coach has still got it

Mark Hughes has still got it.

Hughes was a superstar forward for Manchester United during his playing days, scoring 163 goals in 473 games across two spells.

In addition to his time at Old Trafford, Hughes also played for Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Barcelona among others.

After his playing days, Hughes coached a number of teams including Blackburn, Manchester City, Stoke, and Southampton. He is currently in charge of League Two side Bradford City, and he’s still got quite the first touch.

Hughes showed that in Bradford’s EFL Trophy match against Sheffield Wednesday, picking the ball out of the sky before controlling it with his second touch, and flicking it to a Wednesday player with his third.

Unlike Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini, who went with an understated reaction after his excellent first touch on the sidelines recently, Hughes made the most of his moment in the sun by raising his arms in celebration.
