Hunter joined Norwich City as First Team coach June 26, 2006.^[2] He was caretaker manager of the club during the period after Nigel Worthington's sacking and did apply for the job on a permanent basis. He lost out, however, to ex- Celtic and then West Ham Assistant Manager Peter Grant who was officially appointed on October 16, 2006.

On the 18 June 2007 Chris Hutchings said that he wanted his former number two at Bradford City to be his assistant at Wigan. Instead he joined Watford on July 25, 2007 as the club's first team coach.^[3]
