Manchester United legend Mark Hughes has finally spoken out regarding the way he lost his job at Bradford City.

Hughes, who coached the likes of Manchester City in his career, was fired two months ago.

The 60-year-old ex-Barcelona forward felt that he is not finished as a coach at the top level.

Hughes told ex-England chief Sam Allardyce's No Tippy Tappy Football podcast, said: “We did okay last year and got to the play-offs, the best season they'd had at League Two level in this current period.

“But you're at risk as a manager early in the season if you don't set the tone.

“Everybody thinks that if you have a bad start, that's how the whole season is going to pan out. That's not the case, in fairness.

“When I got the sack, it was the first time since December I'd lost back-to-back league games.

“I thought it was a little bit unfair, if I'm honest. But the perception was that I needed to go."

He added: “I was quite happy to wait until it turned round.

"I don't feel I'm done. I possibly did before the Bradford role because I'd been out for three years. It looked like I wouldn't get another opportunity, for whatever reason.

“I had the opportunity to go to Bradford and took it. I probably shocked a few people.

“But it was just a case of getting back in. I thought it was a good club with a good fanbase."
