Former Arsenal & England striker Wright appointed coach at MK Dons

League One MK Dons have appointed ex-Luton boss Mick Harford as assistant manager and former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright as first-team coach. Boss Karl Robinson said: "I believe I've picked the two best people to help our promotion ambitions next season."

He added: "Mick is an incredible man and a fantastic coach who is well respected in the game. He has a fear factor about him, but he is a football person and I think I need to be surrounded by football people.

"Ian Wright hasn't got his qualifications yet but he is working towards them and he will provide invaluable experience, knowledge and inspiration to our players.

"For a while Ian will work with the team through the week, he can't be with us at weekends because of other contractual commitments, but he will be here Monday to Friday and he will be involved in all our midweek games."
