Anthony Patrick Hudson (born March 11, 1981) is an American professional soccer manager who is the head coach Thai League 1 club BG Pathum United.

[9] Hudson started playing in the youth system at Premier League club West Ham United, before being loaned to Luton Town.

[citation needed] After being released by West Ham, Hudson signed a two-year deal with Dutch First Division team NEC Nijmegen.

[13] In his first season as manager he led the club, which had finished bottom of the table in 2008, to fifth place and a Playoffs spot, their first visit to the post-season.

[18][19] After leaving Real Maryland following the 2010 season, Hudson returned to the United Kingdom to take up a post coaching Tottenham Hotspur's reserves.

[20] In April 2011, Hudson, aged 30, was appointed manager of Conference Premier club Newport County with seven games remaining of their 2010–11 season.

Bahrain lost their semifinal 1–0 to Jordan,[41] and earned their third-place finish via a penalty shootout after 0–0 draw against Kuwait.

[45][46] After resigning from his position with Bahrain, Hudson moved to New Zealand for the full-time role which also includes responsibilities in overseeing the programme of the country's age-group representative sides.

[52] Hudson also took the coaching reins of the New Zealand U23 who won all three of their pool games and their semi final without conceding a goal in their Oceania Olympic Qualifiers at the Pacific Games in July 2015, but were disqualified (and had their semi final win overturned) for fielding an ineligible player due to an administrative error from the national body.

[57] Hudson's squad assembled for the first time for the year in May, for a two-week training camp in Australia, ahead of the 2016 OFC Nations Cup hosted in Papua New Guinea.

[63] Hudson was also linked to the manager's position at Derby County[64] and Norwich City[65] and reportedly turned down job for MK Dons.

In March 2017, Hudson led the All Whites into the Round 3 Play-Off Final by securing top spot in Group A of the third stage of Oceania World Cup Qualifiers.

[67] During the All Whites' preparation for World Cup Qualifiers against Fiji, Tommy Smith, senior player, praised the professionalism of the national team's set-up.

[69][70] In June 2016, Hudson led the All Whites to 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup as the lowest ranked team, 95th at the time, in the tournament.

[71] Their second match against Mexico was a close one as they took the lead, but their efforts ended in a 1–2 loss, thus earning their early exit along with Russia.

[74] In spite of this, Hudson was praised from overseas press, including Portugal and South Korea[75] as well as from New Zealand captain Winston Reid, and player Ryan Thomas for constant "improvements" of the trainings and the environment.

Hudson later announced his resignation as All Whites coach after not qualifying for the World Cup, despite a desire from NZ Football chief executive Andy Martin for him to stay.

[94] Hudson has since explained that he has cleared things up with the players, they understood what he meant and that his comments came out wrong, especially since there's a cultural difference in how England managers talk.

[98] The United States national team was then also crowned champions of the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final on August 1, 2021, after defeating Mexico 1–0 before a sold-out crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, NV.

[99] After qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup following a 2–0 loss to Costa Rica in the final match of CONCACAF qualifying at Estadio Nacional in San Jose, Costa Rica,[100] the United States national team's run at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar ended after the Netherlands defeated the US 3-1 in the round of 16.

In a press release, the federation announced that Hudson would be responsible for selecting and managing the roster for the January 2023 camp and associated friendlies against Serbia and Colombia.

After three league matches, Hudson moved into a technical advisory role, leaving his position as manager by mutual consent with the club.
