Stoke City Appoint Paul Lambert as Manager Following Mark Hughes' Dismissal

Stoke City hired Paul Lambert as their manager on Monday after they sacked Mark Hughes earlier in January.

The Potters announced the news via their official website, with Lambert signing a two-and-a-half-year deal at the bet365 Stadium.

Lambert arrives with Stoke 18th in the Premier League and the team having shipped a total of 47 goals in 22 matches—the worst defensive record in the division—though he won't officially take charge until Tuesday after the team have faced Manchester United.
