Is he the most under-rated manager in England?

Brighton and Hove Albion are all but certain to play in the Premier League for the first time next season, following their victory over Wigan Athletic on Monday afternoon. The Seagulls' 2-1 win over the Latics means they will be promoted on Monday evening if Huddersfield fail to beat Derby County. Even if Huddersfield do win that game, Brighton have a goal difference vastly superior to their Championship rivals'. There was a lot of love for former Ireland international Chris Hughton on Twitter on Monday evening. The former Newcastle, Birmingham and Norwich City boss is one of the most under-rated in English football, but that could be all about to change. https://twitter.com/Footie_Cath/status/854004486469300224 https://twitter.com/LawesDisorder/status/854004443335020545 https://twitter.com/OllieHolt22/status/853966546946969600 https://twitter.com/RudiKinsella/status/854001165436149762 https://twitter.com/KCsixtyseven/status/854001896738230273 https://twitter.com/DanDBennett97/status/854004195141222400
