Confirmed: Matt Bloomfield LEAVES Wycombe to join Luton Town as their new manager
Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed the departure of manager Matt Bloomfield to Championship side Luton Town.
The 40-year-old, who had been in charge of the Chairboys since February 2023 when he replaced the long-lasting Gareth Ainsworth, won 52 of his 108 games in charge of the Adams Park side.
He leaves the South Buckinghamshire team in second place in the League One, in which he has won two Manager of the Month awards from three nominations.
Bloomfield replaces Rob Edwards who departed the Hatters on January 9 following a poor run of form which has left the former Premier League side in 20th place - two points above the relegation zone.
A club statement from Wycombe Wanderers reads: "The Club is naturally disappointed with Matt’s decision to leave in the middle of the season.
"However, we respect his decision to pursue this new chapter in his career.
"He leaves with the gratitude and best wishes of everyone at Wycombe Wanderers, and we thank him for his service to the club.
"Richard Thomas, Lee Harrison and Ben Cirne will also be departing to join Matt’s backroom staff at Luton.
"The Board will now begin the process of identifying and appointing a new manager to lead the team forward.
"In the meantime, Sam Grace, Harry Hudson, Matty Dye and Jerome John will oversee training and manage upcoming fixtures.
"The club is fully committed to building on this season’s foundations of success and implementing our long-term vision for Wycombe Wanderers.
With the steadfast support of our fans and the resilience of our team, we are confident in meeting the challenges ahead.
"Thank you to all our supporters for your continued support as we move forward together."
