Former Leicester City defender has castigated Claude Puel for being "hard work" and failing to motivate the players in his charge.
Puel was sacked by the club this weekend after their fourth home league defeat in a row, leaving the club with a search for a replacement that is rumoured to be either Brendan Rodgers or Rafael Benitez.
Huth left the club last summer during Puel's reign, and spoke to the BBC about his experience of the atmosphere under the Foxes' now-former manager.
"I, personally, found him really hard work.
"We have had managers before that are really energetic, a positive vibe, and get you up for games. When he came in, it was pretty much the opposite.
"We had a group that played high-energy football for 90 minutes and he pretty much changed it; almost working against the players in the sense that he said 'You guys have played that way for three years, but I'm going to do it this way..'"
Huth arguably has an axe to grind following his departure from the club, and his comments over Puel's motivational style do not do much to dismiss that theory.
"That didn't quite work. The style he promised, he didn't do it. The games Leicester did win were always the same way that we won them two or three years ago.
"He hasn't delivered in that sense, but that's the life of a manager - if you don't perform, you get the sack."
"I've seen first-hand, in changing rooms, meetings and on the pitch - he sits at the helm and sets the tone for the team. If things don't go well, you need someone to point it out and be brutally honest with the players.
"Quite frankly, I don't think that he was the guy to do that because if you let the players under-perform as they have, you're setting them up for failure."
"It was always up to the backroom staff [to motivate the squad] - [Michael Appleton] was there with him and he had to do it at times.
"But I really do think that as a manager that you set the tone, and the team should play the way you set them up."
