Lee Bowyer has been appointed Charlton manager on a permanent basis, the club have announced.
The 41-year-old has been in charge of the Addicks on a caretaker basis since March following the departure of Karl Robinson.
“I said when I first took charge that it was a fairytale to be back working at Charlton, the club I started playing at. I love the club and will give everything to get promotion,” said Bowyer, who has signed a contract until the end of the season.
“We got the players in that we wanted this summer and this now gives us the stability. The players and the staff have been brilliant and I am looking forward to continuing working with them as together we aim for promotion.
“The fans have been outstanding too and I want to thank them for all their support at the end of last season and the beginning of this season. They have supported me from that first minute of my first game against Plymouth and we all want to do well for them.
“I’d like to thank the owner too for having belief in me and giving me the opportunity and Richard Murray whose support and guidance has been important during my time here.”
