Charlton Athletic are seeing change in the dugout for the first time in three years after Lee Bowyer resigned from the club and joined Birmingham City.

The Addicks have certainly seen a lot of ups and downs in the recent past but one thing had been consistent for a while, and that was seeing Bowyer turn out in the home dugout at The Valley.

Times change however - Charlton fans will tell you that more than most - and it's at least a more orderly procedure at the moment than in the past with managers coming and going under Roland Duchatelet quicker than you could count.

According to PPG, though, which have been the strongest Addicks managers? We're using transfermarkt to count down the top ten with a couple of caveats: The manager must have taken charge of at least 10 games and we're only able to use more modern names, with the records not really available for those in charge at the club further back in its long history.

Here is the top ten...

Iain Dowie makes 10th place in our list with a PPG of 1.21.

He had the unenviable task of following Alan Curbishley as manager at Charlton and it was a tough few months for him at the club in truth.

He signed the likes of Scott Carson and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in the summer of his arrival but by November later that year (2006) he was removed from the job.

Indeed, he only took charge of 14 matches and though he helped guide the Addicks to their best finish in the League Cup - a quarter-final - he was shown the door 137 days after he had walked in through it.

Bob Peeters managed 28 games between May 2014 and January 2015 with a PPG of 1.21.

Much of his playing career and managerial career had been spent in the likes of The Netherlands and his native Belgium with him arriving at Charlton from Waasland-Beveren.

He was at the club for several months but was let go after a dire run of 12 games that saw only one win recorded.

He moved back to Belgium to manage Sporting Lokeren later that year.

Nowadays, he is the manager of Westerlo and has been there since 2017.

Alan Curbishley is perhaps the man most synonymous with Charlton in terms of the managerial role.

He made his name as a coach at the club with him in a joint-role between 1991 and 1995 before taking the reins on a sole basis.

Famous moments included that dramatic play-off final win against Sunderland and fine spells in the Premier League with the Addicks establishing themselves as a top-flight side during his time in charge.

Forever a Charlton legend, we've not seen him as a manager for a while now but he ended his time at the Addicks with a PPG of 1.23 across all those years at the helm.

Russell Slade was a manager at the other end of the spectrum in terms of longevity with him at the club for just 161 days to oversee 21 matches.

He arrived in June 2016 and left in the November of that year, with a PPG of 1.24 to show for his efforts.

He signed a three-year contract with the club but it was quickly clear that it wasn't working with just four league wins to show in League One.

Charlton were in 15th in the third tier when he left the club with him heading to Coventry City not long after he had left the Addicks.

Guy Luzon was in charge at Charlton for nearly a year having arrived in January 2015 before leaving in the October of that particular year.

In that time, he took charge of 36 Addicks games with a PPG of 1.25.

He arrived on the back of his last job being at Standard Liege where they were challenging for European spots with his first game in charge of the Addicks a 0-0 draw with Wolves.

Of the 36 games he had in charge of the club he won a third whilst he lost a further 15 at the helm.

Karl Robinson had some good times at The Valley with him at the club for about a year and a half.

He had a PPG of 1.36 and joined in November 2016, before leaving the club by mutual consent in March 2018.

Indeed, his departure and then appointment at Oxford United was rather swift with it apparent he felt that Oxford were in a better place to kick on into the Championship.

Of course, that hasn't proven to happen just yet with Charlton going to the second tier and back since and now both are battling for a play-off spot this season.

Phil Parkinson took over after Alan Pardew left the club but could not prevent them from dropping into League One at the end of the season.

Even so, he stayed with the club and they enjoyed good form in the third tier, with them challenging the top two and eventually finishing inside the play-off places.

However, they could not get into the Championship via the top six and after a poor start to the following season in League One, Parkinson was let go.

He had a PPG of 1.4 across 109 matches with him at the club over two years.

Lee Bowyer is obviously no longer at the club and whilst it perhaps came to its natural conclusion earlier this week, there will be memories for Charlton fans to look back on forever thanks to his spell in charge.

He stood by the club in the darkest moments in terms of the ownership and guided them to the Championship with a famous play-off victory over Sunderland.

Perhaps we'll see him return in the future but for now his PPG stands at 1.47 having taken charge of 157 games for the Addicks.

Many wish him well for the future.

Chris Powell ranks in 2nd place with an impressive 1.49 PPG over 160 games.

He was a legend as a player and only cemented that status further with him at the helm of the Addicks 100+ point haul in Sky Bet League One.

He was at the club for over three years with him arriving in January 2011 and leaving in March 2014, with the club fighting against the drop from the Championship by that point.

However, the work he did at the club was superb and really underlined his credentials as a manager, with him always welcome back at The Valley.

José Riga took over from Chris Powell and did enough to help the Addicks avoid the drop in the Championship, with his PPG of 1.5 meaning he's actually top of this list.

He was only at the club a few months as he agreed to join Blackpool at the end of the 13/14 season but he would actually return to The Valley a couple of years later - though his PPG that time around was down to 1.

He took charge of 16 games during his first spell at Charlton before moving up to the north-west with the Tangerines - though his time there proved to be very sour indeed.
