Newly-promoted Luton have announced former Everton and Belgium assistant manager Graeme Jones will lead them in the Championship next season.
Jones has agreed a three-year deal at Kenilworth Road and will start next week, following the conclusion of the regular League One season.
The 49-year-old replaces Mick Harford, who successfully led Luton to the second tier but will step down at the end of the season.
Jones spent 11 years working as assistant manager to Roberto Martinez, enjoying spells at Wigan, Everton and Belgium, and he now takes his first managerial role.
The Hatters’ chief executive officer Gary Sweet told the club’s official website: “We’re delighted to be the first club to secure the managerial services of Graeme Jones.
