Coaching career On 23 May 2017, Hughes signed for Bishop's Stortford in a player-assistant manager role. He joined Cheshunt for the 2018–19 season, where he continued playing alongside roles as first team coach and later assistant manager.

Hughes joined Billericay Town as assistant to new manager Kevin Watson in January 2021.

He joined King's Lynn Town as first team coach in January 2022 following the appointment of Tommy Widdrington as manager. After his resignation in April 2023, Hughes was appointed interim manager. On 12 May 2023, he was given the job on a permanent basis, signing a two-year deal. A poor start to the 2023–24 season where his side picked up just eight points from ten matches spelled the end of his managerial tenure, departing the club on 25 September 2023.
