Ex-Premier League boss Nathan Jones seals return to management in League One

talksport.com, 4 February 2024, 14:59

Charlton have appointed Nathan Jones as their new manager.

The Addicks have been on the lookout for a new boss since January 23 after axing Michael Appleton following the 3-2 defeat against Northampton.

talkSPORT told you how former Southampton boss Jones was an early contender for the vacant job the same night that Appleton was sacked.

And the Welshman now looks set to take charge of League One Charlton - his first managerial role since being sacked at St Mary's in February 2023.

The 50-year-old has plenty of experience having briefly coached in the Premier League, as well as in the Championship with Stoke.

Charlton fans meanwhile will be encouraged by his work with Luton, where he took them from League Two to League One in 2018.

Chelsea told they need to sell £100m of homegrown talent or fall foul of FFP breaches

Arsenal told they had enough funds to sign a striker in January and avoid any FFP breaches

He was also in charge for the first half of the 2018/19 campaign before moving to the Potters, with Luton eventually going on to win League One.

Should Jones be drafted in at the Valley, he would be the club's third permanent manager this campaign.

Charlton started the season with Dean Holden, but he was sacked at the end of August following just one win in six matches, with Jason Pearce taking over on a caretaker basis.

Then came Appleton, but he lasted just a few months before he was relieved of his duties.
