Charlton have announced that former MK Don’s boss, Karl Robinson, is the club’s new manager, and has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal.
Liverpool born Robinson played youth team football for Everton and Blackpool but did not make a first team appearance.
The 36-year old was a Liverpool academy coach before moving on to Blackburn. He then moved to MK Dons as Paul Ince’s assistant, and took over as manager in 2010.
He twice reached the League One play-offs, before gaining automatic promotion to the Championship in 2014.
Possibly his most famous achievement at stadium:MK was a 4-0 League Cup victory over Manchester United.
The Dons were relegated with Charlton at the end of last season, but Robinson rejected the opportunity to take over at Leeds in the summer.
MK Dons have struggled to make an impact this time around, andRobinson was relieved of his duties following the 3-0 home reverse to Southend last month, after six-and-a-half-years with the Buckinghamshire club.
Kevin Nugent will remain in charge for the Sheffield United game, Robinson will watch the game from the stand.
Young, hungry with a dash of attitude, Robinson could be just the tonic the Addicks need.
