*Club domestic league appearances and goals


Anthony Patrick Hudson (born 11 March 1981) is an English[4] football manager of the New Zealand national football team.




Playing career


As a player, Hudson started in the youth system at Premier League club West Ham United, and later had a spell at Luton Town.
In 2001, he moved to Dutch First Division team NEC Nijmegen.[5] He then moved to American lower division club Wilmington Hammerheads in 2006, ultimately appearing in 10 league games.



Coaching career


United States


In 2005, Hudson became player-assistant head coach of USL Second Division team Wilmington Hammerheads, having spent the previous two years working as an academy coach at AC Diablos SC.

In October 2008 he was selected as Real Maryland Monarchs head coach at the age of 27.[5] One of the youngest to have obtained the UEFA Pro Licence, and having studied with the English Football Association, Hudson also became the youngest manager (head coach) in the U.S.[citation needed] In his very first season as manager he led the club, which had the worst record and finished bottom of the table in 2008, to the quarter-finals of the 2009 Playoffs.[6] Hudson was also nominated for the 2009 Coach of the Year Award.[7]



United Kingdom


After leaving Real Maryland following the 2010 season, Hudson returned to the United Kingdom and began coaching at Tottenham Hotspur for their reserve squad.[8][9]

On 1 April 2011, Hudson, aged 30, was appointed manager of Conference Premier club Newport County with seven games remaining of their  2010-11 season.[8] He arrived with a "glittering reference"[10] from Redknapp, who likened him to "a young José Mourinho".[11][12] 

On 5 April 2011, Hudson took charge of Newport County for the first time in a 2-1 home victory over  Darlington.[13] A further 3 wins and 2 losses followed as Newport County finished ninth in the 2010/11 Conference Premier.[14] In July 2011, Hudson was working towards the UEFA Pro Licence with the English Football Association.[15]

On 28 September 2011, with Newport having won once in their first 12 games, Hudson left the club "as a result of discussions" with chairman Chris Blight, despite having the "full support of the squad".[16][17][18]



Bahrain

In March 2012, Hudson was appointed manager of the Bahrain under-23 team.[19] He was brought in to coach the national under-23 and Olympic team by Peter Taylor, national team coach of Bahrain senior team. Hudson became the youngest coach to earn the UEFA Pro Licence, the highest coaching award in the game, in 2012.[20] He led Bahrain to the final of the 2012 GCC tournament, eventually losing to Saudi Arabia, hence finishing as runner-up. This was Bahrain's highest ever finish at this age group, having never reached above 5th place in the gulf.[21] Hudson then worked under Argentinian coach Gabriel Calderon after Peter Taylor's exit. In June 2013 Hudson signed a two-year extension with the Bahrain Football Federation.[22] In between tournaments in Bahrain, Hudson spent time studying with Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho and later with Marcelo Bielsa at Athletic Club de Bilbao.[23]

On 13 August 2013 Hudson was appointed manager of Bahrain.[24] In October 2013 Hudson was listed as a potential candidate as coach of Denmark.[25] Before taking on his new job as head of the senior team, Hudson made history by leading the Bahrain U23 team to their first title at the  U23 Gulf Cup of Nations, beating Saudi Arabia in the final.[26] This was the first official gold medal the Bahrain U23 national team have won in their history. In November 2013 Hudson led the national team to qualification for the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia. 

In January 2014 he led Bahrain to the 2014 WAFF Championship, where Bahrain finished third.[27] After 0-0 draws against Oman and Iraq, Bahrain made the semi-finals of the tournament due to a drawing of lots. Bahrain lost their semifinal 1-0 to Jordan[28], and earned their third place finish via a penalty shootout after 0-0 draw against Kuwait.[29]

Hudson was offered a new two-year contract as coach of national team in February 2014.[30]



New Zealand All Whites


In August 2014, Hudson was appointed manager of the New Zealand national football team.[31][32] After resigning from his position with Bahrain, Hudson has relocated to New Zealand for the full-time role which also includes responsibilities in overseeing the programme of the country's age-group representative sides.[33]
Both New Zealand national under-20 football team and New Zealand national under-17 football team made history by making into knockout stages of their respective World Cups in the same cycle for the first time.[34][35][36][37]

Hudson's first game in charge of the national team was a 3–1 defeat away to Uzbekistan in September 2014.[38] In 2015, All Whites defeated Oman, who were ranked 67 places higher at 92nd place in the FIFA World Rankings, in a 1-0 victory.[39] Hudson also took the coaching reins of the New Zealand U-23 who won all three of their pool games and their semi final without conceding a goal in their Oceania Olympic Qualifiers at the Pacific Games in July 2015, but were disqualified (and had their semi final win overturned) for fielding an ineligible player due to an administrative error from the national body.[40][41] This incident led to Hudson losing players for selection for his preparation for his matches against Myanmar and Oman[42] as the national body continued their detailed review of the internal processes and eligibility information for all players.[43]

In April 2016, the All Whites dropped to 161 in the FIFA world rankings, surpassing their previous lowest ever ranking of 159 in late 2015.[44]

In May 2016, Hudson's squad assembled for the first time for the year for a two-week training camp in Australia ahead of the 2016 OFC Nations Cup hosted in Papua New Guinea. The national body failed to find a fixture against suitable opposition for the All Whites in the March FIFA window.[45] Despite having to change the team due to losing players to the eligibility saga, as well as a lack of matches organised from the national body, the All Whites won the 2016 OFC Nations Cup, winning four matches with the final being won via a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw against Papua New Guinea, conceding one goal, from a penalty, in the process.[46]
New Zealand's victory saw them crowned Oceania champions making New Zealand the most successful national team in the competition's history, having won the tournament five times, and also saw them qualify for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.[47] New Zealand moved up 54 places in the world rankings, on the back of the OFC Nations Cup victory that qualified them for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.[48]

In October 2016, after two away games against Mexico and USA (a 2-1 loss and a 1-1 draw, respectively), former All Whites' captain Ryan Nelsen said the team had gone up a level under Hudson and he had "never seen New Zealand teams play this way".[49] Hudson was also linked to the managers position at Derby County.[50]

In March 2017, Hudson made inaccurate statement regarding the statistics of the All Whites records. Hudson’s statement was including the New Zealand U23’s record, games he has coached in his campaign for New Zealand, and taking the All Whites' run from after their March 31, 2015 match against South Korea.[51]
