Stoke City have announced the appointment of two backroom staff members, who will start work under new manager Mark Hughes.
Mark Bowen will become the assistant manager of the club, while Eddie Niedzwiecki takes up the role of first team coach.
The duo have been associated with the Welsh boss throughout his managerial posts so far, which includes stints at clubs such as Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City, Fulham, as well as QPR.
“They’re the best at what they do in my opinion”, Hughes told his club’s official site.

“That is why they have worked alongside me for so long.
“They are both outstanding coaches, while they also have a real understanding of the game and how I like things to be.”
The trio linked up for the first time when Hughes took charge as the manager of Wales in 1999 for a five-year spell.
“I’m pleased that they are joining us because I’m sure I will benefit from that and so too will Stoke City”, Hughes added.
The Potters appointed Hughes last month, following the exit of former manager Tony Pulis.
Stoke City face Merseyside giants Liverpool in their opening fixture of the Premier League 2013/14 season at Anfield, on 17th August.
