Hudson became one of the youngest coaches to earn the UEFA Pro Licence, the highest coaching award in football, in 2012.[4] Hudson has managed two international teams, and won two international tournaments, qualifying for the 2015 Asian Cup and 2017 Confederations Cup in the process.[5] Hudson also became the youngest ever manager to lead a team in FIFA Confederations Cup history.[6][7]
 
This is his English record:

Tottenham Hotspur
After leaving Real Maryland following the 2010 season, Hudson returned to the United Kingdom to take up a post coaching Tottenham Hotspur's reserves.[22]

Newport County
In April 2011, Hudson, aged 30, was appointed manager of Conference Premier club Newport County with seven games remaining of their 2010–11 season.[22] He arrived with a "glittering reference"[23] from Harry Redknapp, who likened him to "a young José Mourinho".[24]

Hudson took charge of Newport County for the first time in a 2–1 home victory over Darlington.[25] A further three wins and two losses followed as Newport County finished ninth in the 2010–11 Conference Premier.[26] In July 2011, Hudson was working towards the UEFA Pro Licence with the English Football Association.[27] On 28 September 2011, with Newport having won only once in their first 12 games, Hudson was sacked,[28] despite new signing David Pipe stating "everyone is definitely behind the gaffer"[29] and senior players "contacting the press to let the fans know what the players think".[30][31][32] Following Hudson's departure, Newport Chairman Chris Blight was quoted as saying "We are a quarter of the way through the season and to be where we are, to Newport County Football Club is not what we expected or anticipated
 
His assistant as New Zealand boss was Peter Taylor, who gave David Beckham the England captaincy I believe, and has been manager of a variety of clubs including several at our new level. Could be a useful appointment if they still have any link.
 
Out of the favorites that have been mentioned I’m liking chris Wilder more and more. His management record is very good and he has improved at every club he has managed.
