Legendary ex-Charlton boss prepared to answer the call

Alan Curbishley has not ruled out a return to former club Charlton after they sacked head coach Bob Peeters on Sunday. Curbishley managed the Addicks for 15 seasons up until 2006, a period that included seven successive Premier League campaigns and a highest finish of seventh in 2003/04.

When asked whether he would be interested in heading back to the Valley, the 57-year-old told Sky Sports News HQ: "If they wanted to talk to me I'd have a chat to them.

"But I think they've probably got someone lined up. You don't sack managers nowadays if you haven't got someone lined up to go in.

"They are not the club I left. It's been a long time now but they are still a big club."
