Former Leicester star named new Newport County boss

Former Austrian international skipper Christian Fuchs has been named the new manager of Newport County.
The 39 year old was previously a Premier League winner at Leicester City in 2016.
He replaces Dave Hughes who was sacked after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Shrewbury Town with the Exiles bottom of league Two.
County Chairman Huw Jenkins said, “We see Christian as the sort of man to lead our club forward. I believe he matches our ambition and goals for Newport County FC.
“I do feel we can now look forward with a great deal of optimism. We’ll look to improve our current situation in League Two and take things from there.
“Christian is ambitious and wants, one day, to manage in the Premier League, we believe he shares our strong belief in what Newport County can eventually become.”
