John Hughes (born 9 September 1964 in Edinburgh) is a former Scottish professional footballer, who is currently the manager of Scottish Premiership club Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Hughes played primarily as a central defender for several clubs, including Falkirk, Celtic, Hibernian and Ayr United. Towards the end of his playing career, Hughes took on coaching responsibilities, and was appointed manager of Falkirk in 2003 (initially as co-manager with Owen Coyle). Hughes guided Falkirk to promotion to the Scottish Premier League and a Scottish Cup Final during his time in charge. He eventually left Falkirk to take up the managerial role at Hibernian in 2009, but left by mutual consent after sixteen months. Hughes was appointed manager of Livingston in February 2012, but left in November to take over at English club Hartlepool United. He departed Hartlepool in May 2013 after being unable to prevent their relegation to League Two. Hughes soon returned to football when he was appointed manager of Inverness Caledonian Thistle in December 2013. He then led the club to their first major silverware with the Scottish Cup in May 2015 and their first foray into Europe in the Europa League. == Playing career == Hughes is "one of six kids from the classic, working-class family" in Leith. He started his playing career in junior football with Newtongrange Star, before beginning his senior career with Berwick Rangers, where he played as a striker. After a brief stint in the Football League with Swansea City, Hughes established himself as a central defender at Falkirk. His playing career peaked when he signed for Celtic in 1995.〔 He scored a late, headed equaliser in the derby against Rangers at Ibrox on 17 March 1996. He subsequently played for his local club Hibernian, Ayr United and finally returned to Falkirk in a joint player and coaching role. Hughes shares his name with former Celtic, Crystal Palace and Sunderland player John 'Yogi' Hughes. As a result, Hughes is often referred to as 'Yogi' himself.〔 He famously performed a streak during his first stint at Falkirk whilst team-mate Mo Johnston was being interviewed for STV's Scotsport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Hughes (footballer, born 1964)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
