Timeline

2019

Hignett returned to Hartlepool in March 2018 as the club's Director of Football. Following the dismissal of Matthew Bates in November 2018, Hignett took temporary charge of the first team in addition to his role as director of football. Although former Luton boss Richard Money took charge in December 2018, he was later moved to a senior position before departing and Hignett was reinstated as first-team manager on 23 January 2019.

On 10 October 2019 Hignett was sacked alongside coach Ged McNamee, his dismissal was viewed with surprise from fans.

2017

October was an especially disappointing month for the team, surrendering seven points from winning positions, the most notable of which being throwing away a two-goal lead to lose 3–2 defeat at Barnet.

Hignett left his role as assistant to then Hartlepool United boss Colin Cooper in March 2014 to join Aitor Karanka's revolution at Middlesbrough.
