Matt Bloomfield: Luton Town appoint Wycombe boss as new manager

Luton Town have appointed Wycombe Wanderers head coach Matt Bloomfield as their new manager on a three-and-a-half-year contract.

The 40-year-old leaves the promotion-chasing League One side to replace Rob Edwards at Kenilworth Road just a week after the former Welsh international, who famously guided The Hatters to Premier League promotion in 2023, left the club by mutual consent as they struggle near the bottom of the Championship.

Luton are 20th in the second tier, just two places and two points clear of the bottom three, as they look to avoid back-to-back relegations after losing their Premier League status after just one season in the top flight last May.

Bloomfield said it was a “genuine honour and a privilege” to take the helm at The Hatters. “I’m incredibly proud and very, very happy to be here,” he told the club’s website, external.
