The recent restructuring of the board of directors presented Capelin with the opportunity to take a well-earned rest after more than 12 years with Charlton, before looking for his next challenge.

Plc chairman Richard Murray said: "Nigel has been a great servant to Charlton and has played an integral role in the development of the football club over the last decade.

"On behalf of myself and the board, I thank him for his hard work and support through this period, and wish him well for the future.”

Nigel added: "I joined the club in 1997 and through the years have been involved in a period of dynamic change.

"I am pleased to have played a part in this and it has been a privilege to have worked for Charlton through this time. I am sure the future holds well for the football club.”
