Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has insisted that he is concerned only with his current job and not what might have been at Newcastle United.

Hughton, who was replaced by Alan Pardew after winning promotion with the Magpies, has said that he feels "lucky" to be managing Norwich.

"There are no thoughts of meeting anybody or what reaction I will get," Sky Sports News quotes Hughton as saying. "It's nice to go back. I had a really good three years there which I enjoyed. You can't afford to have other things on your mind.

"From the time I left there, all I wanted to do was look forward. I consider myself lucky. For me it's always been onwards and upwards.

"It's not a nice thing to happen to anybody when you lose your job but unfortunately it's part and parcel of the game. If you dwell on things it doesn't give you the opportunities to look forward."

Norwich have yet to win a game in the Premier League this season.
