"Garner told the South London Press: “Anthony has been fantastic. I was looking to bring another coach in. I was advised to look at what is at the club and have a good look at Anthony."
Charlton Athletic can confirm that Anthony Hayes has left the club.
Hayes joined the Addicks' academy in 2016 and was named Lead Coach of the U23s in 2021, before being promoted to the men’s first-team coaching staff in the summer of 2022.
He was the club’s Caretaker Manager for three games in late 2022 and most recently assisted Jason Pearce when he took charge of two matches ahead of the appointment of Head Coach Michael Appleton.
Hayes said: “Charlton is a special place with great people and a proud pathway that can and should never be taken for granted. I’ll look back at my time with the club fondly and with immense pride. I want to wish the club, Michael and all of his staff, the players and the supporters all the very best for this season and beyond.”
Everyone at the club would like to thank Anthony for his seven years of service and wish him well for the future.
His credentials to move into another Academy at a higher level are good and I hope opportunities turn up for him.
It is a risk moving from academy or the development squads to the first team which both Euell and Pearce have declined while getting experience. For Euell it has turned out well as he moved on to be Nigel Pearsons no.2 at Bristol City.
While I appreciate the attempt to keep the Anthony Hayes discussion to one thread @callumcafc, it's probably best if we use the new one, as the title to this one is rather misleading now.

Well deserved
Appears to be an excellent coach though... Did form dip when he left the First Team?

Shame he can't go back to the Academy, seems really well liked by a lot of the youth
A bit awkward to move from first team to Academy.
