headed home from Steven Gerrard’s delivery to score in the 4-1 loss to Germany.

Gareth Southgate’s side turned that around, with the help of attacking coach Allan Russell, and thrived on dead-ball situations on their run to the last four.

Attacking coach Russell, 37, is a former journeyman striker at lower-league clubs based in Scotland and England, and is a UEFA A licence coach. He has been part of Southgate’s backroom staff for around a year and uses his past experience at club duty witnessing positioning specialists given to players.

Town’s popular Hughes, 40, became first-team coach under Wagner in May 2016, after leaving Crystal Palace, and played a key role in helping the club win promotion from the Championship.

Ahead of joining the Premier League Eagles in January 2016, Hughes had worked as First Team Development Coach at Rotherham United and as Professional Development Coach at Bolton Wanderers.

A central midfielder or full back during a long playing career, his coaching experience began at his final club, Charlton Athletic, where he worked with the squad whilst sidelined with an Achilles injury.

Having come through the youth system and turning professional at Oldham Athletic, Hughes played over 600 professional games for the likes of Notts County, Reading and Leeds United; gaining promotion from League 1 on three separate occasions alongside a Division Three championship success.
