Hughton’s second stint calling the Toon is ‘more enjoyable’

CHRIS HUGHTON has admitted he is enjoying life as caretaker Newcastle boss much better second time around.

The former Tottenham defender was thrown in at the deep end in September when Kevin Keegan sensationally walked out of St James’ Park, and found the going tough as the Magpies embarked upon a run of four successive defeats under his charge.

He went back to his coaching role when Joe Kinnear was appointed as caretaker later that same month, but has found himself back in the limelight once again with the 62-year-old recovering from heart surgery.
