Brighton sacked manager Chris Hughton following their 17th place finish in the Premier League.

"Our run of three wins from 23 Premier League matches put our status at significant risk. It is with that in mind, and the performances during that period, that I now feel it's the right time for a change," said club chairman Tony Bloom.

Hughton, who joined the club in 2014, is the 7th manager to get fired in the Premier League this season.
