Scott Marshall quits Charlton Athletic to make Colchester United move

Scott Marshall has left Charlton Athletic and will link back up with Ben Garner at Colchester United.

Marshall joined the Addicks as assistant coach in the summer, making the same move as Garner from Swindon Town.

Garner, sacked in December, was appointed Colchester manager earlier this week.

Charlton boss Dean Holden said: “Scott spoke with me and explained he wanted to move on. I wasn’t going to stand in his way.

“I’ve come in on my own and assessed all the staff. It now gives us the opportunity to potentially look to bring in another member of staff in, whether that’s now or at the end of the season.

“We wish Scott well. He’s been brilliant both on and off the pitch since I’ve come to the club and we wish him well.”

Everyone at the club would like to thank Scott for his efforts and wish him all the very best for the future.”
