Charlton have appointed the former West Ham, Leicester City
and Plymouth Argyle player Tim Breacker as assistant to manager
Phil Parkinson.
In changes to the management structure, Mark
Kinsella continues as first team coach while rising star Damian
Matthew, who lives in Maidstone, has been handed the role of
development coach with Phil Chapple reverting to chief scout.
Matthew remains as reserve team manager.
Breacker, who holds the UEFA Pro A licence and was most recently
assistant to Ian Holloway at Leicester, started his career as an
apprentice at Luton Town and played in the Hatters side that
defeated Arsenal in the 1988 League Cup final at Wembley.
After 200 appearances as right-back, Breacker
moved to West Ham in October, 1990 for a £600,000 fee and spent
nine years at Upton Park before joining Queens Park Rangers on a
free transfer. After two seasons at Loftus Road, he retired at the
end of the 2000-01 campaign.
“I’ve known Tim for a long time and he will
bring a lot of experience to the table,” said Parkinson. “The
appointment is one that I’ve been discussing with the board over
the summer so I’m pleased it’s been agreed.”
Christian Dailly, the 35-year-old former West
Ham, Derby, Blackburn Rovers and Glasgow Rangers defender, was
included in the Charlton side that beat Roy Keane’s Ipswich Town
2-1 in Tuesday’s only home pre-season friendly.
