We would like to thank Mark for all he has achieved for the Club over the last four and a half years, notably in guiding us to three successive ninth places finishes in the Premier League, and we wish him every success for the future.#SCFC ?⚪️

A run of five defeats in seven Premier League games also contributed to Hughes’ departure as he leaves the club in the relegation zone after four and a half years in charge.
