Mark Hughes is set to be dumped by Manchester City this weekend, it has been revealed. The Sun says chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and owner Sheikh Mansour finally lost faith following City's 3-0 drubbing at Tottenham on Wednesday.

Guus Hiddink and Jurgen Klinsmann are understood to be on City's wanted list of replacements for Sparky.

Russia coach Hiddink excelled as Chelsea's stand- in boss last season and his agent yesterday claimed there has already been contact from City.

But former Germany chief Klinsmann is also in the frame - especially as he is currently out of management.

Hughes, 46, was appointed as City boss in June 2008 and has spent £250million on the team. But the club's Abu Dhabi owners have not seen the return on their investment they were expecting.
