rdf:langString Anthony Humes (born 19 March 1966) is an English football manager and former professional footballer who is currently director of football at English club Colchester United. Humes played as a defender in the Football League for Ipswich Town between 1985 and 1992, and Wrexham between 1992 and 1999. He remained with Wrexham following his retirement from playing in 1999, remaining with the club until 2001. He returned to Ipswich as a youth coach in the same year, before being promoted to Academy manager. He remained in this position until 2009, when he left following an internal review of the club's youth setup. Humes joined Colchester United's Centre of Excellence in the summer of 2009, and remained in the same position for five years, helping guide the U's under-18 team to a league and cup double during the 2013–14 season. Following Joe Dunne's departure as Colchester United manager in September 2014, Humes was promoted to first-team manager. After helping the club stave off relegation on the final day of the 2014–15 season, he was dismissed as manager on 26 November 2015 following a string of four back-to-back defeats, leaving the club one point above the League One relegation zone. In March 2016, Humes made a return to Colchester as director of football.
