Christian Fuchs Appointed Newport County Manager, Former Leicester City Defender

Christian Fuchs has been appointed as the new manager of Newport County. The former Leicester City defender takes over following the departure of previous manager Graham Hughes.

Background of Christian Fuchs

Fuchs brings a wealth of experience to Newport County, having made 78 international appearances for Austria. His most recent playing stint concluded in January 2023 with Charlotte FC.

Previous Managerial Insights

Under Graham Hughes, who was in charge since the summer, Newport County managed to secure only three victories out of 16 League Two matches. This poor performance led to the team falling four points behind safety, ultimately resulting in Hughes’ exit.

Upcoming Challenges

Fuchs will embark on his managerial journey with an upcoming match against Oldham Athletic scheduled for Saturday. This marks his first venture into management.
