Anthony Hudson, the former United States coach, has left his position with Al Markiyah in Qatar by mutual consent. The 43-year-old is now free to explore other coaching opportunities, and his experience and impressive CV will undoubtedly attract strong interest from other clubs.
Hudson’s journey as a manager has taken him across the globe, but his time at Al Markiyah was short-lived, lasting only three matches. After agreeing to become the team’s technical consultant, he has now departed and is eagerly anticipating his next challenge.
The son of Chelsea legend Alan Hudson, Anthony made a name for himself as one of the youngest coaches to earn his badges after an injury ended his playing career. Former West Ham manager Harry Redknapp has been effusive in his praise for Hudson, who has expressed his desire to return to coaching in the UK.
Hudson’s coaching resume includes stints as manager for New Zealand, Bahrain, and Colorado Rapids. He has also worked as a TV pundit for Al Kass and BeIN Sports, covering the Asia Cup and Qatari League matches. Notably, Hudson played a key role in the United States’ success at the Gold Cup and Nations League, where they defeated Mexico in both finals. His contributions to the team’s progression have solidified his reputation as a highly regarded coach.
With his departure from Al Markiyah, Hudson is once again a free agent and is expected to be in high demand. His experience at the international level and his proven ability to develop young players make him an attractive candidate for clubs seeking a skilled and ambitious coach.
