Luton Town have appointed Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield as their new boss to replace Rob Edwards.
Edwards led the Hatters into the Premier League in 2023 but left his post last week after a poor season in the Championship.
Bloomfield, 40, guided Wanderers to second place in League One, losing just four league games all season.
Time for a new era.

Luton are 20th in the Championship, just two points above the relegation zone. Bloomfield’s first game in charge will be at home to Preston on Saturday and he has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Kenilworth Road.
“It’s a real honor and privilege to be here, to be appointed coach of this incredible club. I’m really, really proud,” Bloomfield said.
“The feeling they gave me that I’m in demand, how much research they’ve done on me and the football club we’ve built at Colchester and Wycombe and the knowledge base of what I stand for, who I am and what we are I’ve tried to produce in our football club, with left in no doubt that this was the right move at the right time.”
Wycombe said they were disappointed with Bloomfield’s decision, but added that “the club is fully committed to building on the foundations of this season’s success and implementing our long-term vision for Wycombe Wanderers.”
The League One side face Mansfield on Saturday.
