BRYAN HUGHES said that he would flourish in the face of the pressure exerted by being a Wrexham director and that he was not baffled by the club's high expectations.
Hughes, the former Reds midfielder, has been named manager for a three-and-a-half year contract, replacing Graham Barrow, who resigned Tuesday.
Although his playing career has been successful, Hughes has not proven himself as a manager, but he is looking forward to the challenge of keeping Wrexham's fifth promotion title in fifth place with 15 points. matches to play.
"There is pressure in any role in any job," said Hughes.
"I am director of the football club and I will handle the pressure.
"I will try to take that away from the players because I want them to be totally focused on these next 15 games.
"It's all about grouping them together and making sure they know their roles and responsibilities every time we go out into the field.
"It's having an impact, we're doing it defensively, can we do it more in the attacking third, which is the biggest challenge for me?"
When asked if he was worried about the expectations at the racetrack, Hughes, whose team is only four points behind leader Leyton Orient, said: "I would not be here if I 'was.
"Waiting levels increase as you succeed and we are in the league, the wait is to try to get a promotion out of this league.
"It's only natural, everyone will think, my job now is to keep the players together and continue to create a dynamic that will be the key.
"With 15 games to play, it's about getting enough points on the board to either win the league or finish the play-offs."
Hughes, who becomes the club's third coach of the season after Barrow and Sam Ricketts, added: "For me, it's about here and now and the league's exit.
"Wrexham did not really like my taste of the Football League, it 's not an easy job as I have found other leaders.
"It's a competitive league, especially this season, but we'll do our best as a coaching and player team, and I'm sure the fans will support us thoroughly.
"Does it bother me? No. It's one of those things that I'm really excited about being able to deliver.
"If we can win the league, brilliant, if we have to do it during the play-offs, it's just as good."
Hughes was approached for work when it appeared that Barrow was looking to retire.
"Everything has been a whirlwind," said Hughes. "It started over the weekend, Graham told the board that he wanted to step down.
"They set things in motion to try to find a replacement; I received a call saying that they would like me to come in for an interview, probably with other people at the time , and I now find myself at the head of the club. "
Hughes is looking forward to playing his first game as a coach against Dagenham and Redbridge at The Racecourse tomorrow. He says fans have an important role to play in the last 15 games.
"I will be very happy to leave the position of director of the football club in front of the fans," said Hughes.
"The fans will have a huge role to play.
"We are all in the same boat, it's about creating a unit, myself, the coaching team and the players, the fans have an equally important role, especially here at home.
"I know exactly how much the fans can be powerful when they support the team.All the feats of the cup that we have had here, we have to reproduce them and the fans can be our 12th man to the make."
Hughes, who will work with the first team coach, Carl Darlington, hopes to soon have an badistant director.
"I'd like to do it as soon as possible, I've thought of people," added Hughes.
"It's up to me now to try to bring in a person who I think will really benefit the club, who can help me and move the club forward with me.
"This three and a half year contract that I have, it's a good security for building an identity here at the club."
