But he has been shown the door after losing his last four league games, as well as Charlton’s Carabao Cup clash against Newport County.

The final straw for Addicks chiefs came on Saturday, with Charlton losing 2-1 away at Oxford United.

The result left the Londoners 19th in League One, with five goals scored and eight conceded.

It means Holden’s reign lasted only eight months.
