Mark Hughes takes over at Man city on 3 year deal

Mark Hughes has been appointed as the new manager of Manchester City after signing a three-year contract.

Hughes held talks with the City hierarchy in London on Tuesday evening and agreed to leave Blackburn after a second round of talks.

City's only concern was a late move by Chelsea, Hughes was never a serious contender.

And City owner Thaksin Shinawatra has now landed his top target after Sven-Goran Eriksson's departure.

Shinawatra said: "He's an outstanding manager who has achieved many things with Blackburn.
