Former Manchester United forward Mark Hughes has left his role as manager of League Two outfit Bradford City.
The former Wales international had been in charge at Valley Parade since February 2022.
Hughes won just three of his 11 League Two games this season, leaving the Bantams in 18th place. He leaves alongside assistant manager Glyn Hodges having spent 19 months in charge of the club.
Bradford City chief executive, Ryan Sparks said in a statement: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark and Glyn for their efforts and services to our football club over the past 19 months.
“They made a great impact when they arrived at the club, both on and off the field, and last season came close to delivering on our aims.
“Unfortunately, since our defeat at Carlisle in the play-off semi-final, results have been disappointing, and after 11 league games we find ourselves a long way away from where we expect to be.
“As a result, the decision has been taken to move in a different direction in an effort to get our season on track.
“On a personal level, I have very much enjoyed working alongside Mark and Glyn, and we go our separate ways on good terms.
“I would ask supporters to join me in wishing both them and their families the very best for the future, while reflecting on some of the memorable moments they brought us.”
