Christian Fuchs, who won the Premier League with Leicester City in 2016, now faces a different survival battle as Newport County manager. The Austrian took charge last November when the club was four points from the bottom. Despite a winless start in his first seven games, Fuchs has guided Newport out of the immediate relegation zone, though they remain precariously placed in 22nd position.

Newport currently sit just one point clear of the bottom two teams, with Harrogate Town and Barrow below them. The Exiles host Harrogate this Saturday in what could be a crucial encounter. Fuchs acknowledges the significance of the match, stating "every point counts" as his team has four games remaining, including a potentially decisive final fixture at Barrow. Recent defeats have increased the pressure.

The 40-year-old, who won 78 caps for Austria and played in the Champions League, considers survival with Newport among his finest achievements. "It would definitely be very high up," Fuchs admits about keeping Newport up. With his Premier League title win already cementing his legacy, Fuchs is focused on establishing himself as a coach, starting with guiding his team to safety in these final matches.
