Hughes has ambitions to return to Chelsea as manager

Former Chelsea player Mark Hughes would one day like to return to Stamford Bridge were he scored 39 goals in 123 appearances, and also helped the club win the FA Cup, Cup Winners' Cup and League Cup in the 1990's, and manage the Blues. "It would be very nice," Hughes told Chelsea TV. "Chelsea is the club I have a very special affinity for. Obviously I had a fantastic time here as a player.

"As a manager you want to test yourself at the very top, so if in the future if it's ever possible for me to work here then I would be absolutely delighted to because it's an outstanding club."

Hughes disappointed Fulham fans after walking out on the club after just one year in charge.

He spent little over a year at Manchester City before being replaced by Roberto Mancini and Hughes admits he is now focused on finding a club where he feels he can remain in the long term.

"I had my reasons for leaving my last post and I just hope that I get an opportunity to get a job in which I can show a bit of longevity because that's what I'm looking for," Hughes added.
