Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has left the promotion-chasing League One club to join Luton Town in the Championship. Bloomfield, 40, has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract and will take charge of his first match against Preston North End on Saturday.
Matt Bloomfield has left promotion-chasing Wycombe Wanderers to become the new manager at Luton. Bloomfield has joined the Championship club on a three-and-a-half-year contract, leaving Wycombe second in League One and two points behind leaders Birmingham. The 40-year-old replaces Rob Edwards, who left Luton by mutual consent last week after just over two years in charge.
'That feeling that they gave me and the feeling of being wanted, how much research they've done into me and the football team that we've produced at Colchester and Wycombe, and the knowledge base of what I stand for, who I am and what we've tried to produce in our football team left me in no uncertain times that this was the right move at the right time.' Bloomfield made over 500 appearances as a midfielder for Wycombe over a 19-year period.
