Charlton have appointed Karl Robinson as their new boss.
The 36-year-old has been without work since being sacked by Mk Dons last month, but the Addicks have handed him a quick return to management.
He replaces Russell Slade in the Valley hotseat, who was axed by the League One club following a poor run of results.
Robinson said: “I am honoured to have been appointed manager of Charlton and can’t wait to get started.
“Joining such a huge club with a large, passionate fanbase is a really exciting proposition.

“I’ve inherited a talented squad and I’ll be doing everything I can to get the club back into the Championship as soon as possible.
“I like my teams to play attractive football and if we all pull together, I firmly believe we can start moving up the table and enjoy a successful season.”
