Charlton Athletic have sacked manager Guy Luzon with immediate effect.

The Israeli coach will leave the struggling Championship club along with assistant head coach Damian Matthew and first-team coach David Martane.

Luzon guided the Addicks to 12th place in the league last term, but leaves them in the relegation zone following Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Brentford.

"Given the recent downturn in results and following Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Brentford which leaves the Addicks in 22nd position, the board felt they had to make a change at this time," said the club in an official statement.

"The club would like to thank the trio for their efforts and a further statement will be made in due course."

Luzon arrived at Charlton in January following a spell with Belgian outfit Standard Liege.
