Hughes willing to wait for right club

MARK HUGHES may be willing to remain out of management for a year after quitting as Fulham boss, his agent Kia Joorabchian has revealed.

Hughes left Craven Cottage on Thursday to stir speculation he could be on his way to managerless Aston Villa or Chelsea.

A statement from Hughes, however, denied he had already been approached by another club, with Joorabchian yesterday revealing the 47-year-old’s decision had been motivated by Fulham’s inability to match his ambitions.
