Charlton Athletic appoint Slade as boss

Relegated Charlton Athletic have appointed Russell Slade as their new manager.

The 55-year-old former Yeovil Town, Brighton, Leyton Orient and Cardiff boss has agreed a three-year deal at The Valley.

Slade left his role as head of football with the Bluebirds last week.

He replaces Jose Riga, who resigned as head coach on 7 May after the end of the Championship campaign, which the Addicks finished in 22nd place.
