Management Career
Club(s) Having successfully undertaken his FA Coaching Badges at Lilleshall in 1960, Charlton was offered the managerial job at Middlesbrough FC 8 May 1973. He took the Teessiders into the First Division, leaving them after the 1976-77 campaign. He applied for the vacant England managerial job after Don Revie left, but his application went unreplied. He returned to club management with Sheffield Wednesday FC in October 1977, remaining at Hillsborough until 27 May 1983. In March 1984, Charlton returned to Middlesbrough FC unpaid, and helped them survice relegation in to the Third Division. He remained in the north-east when he was appointed the new manager of Newcastle United FC in June 1984. He resigned on 13 August 1985. In December 1985, he was one of eight managers interviewed by the FAI to become the next Republic of Ireland manager (the others being Noel Cantwell, Pat Crerand, Theo Foley, Johnny Giles, Gordon Lee, Billy McNeill and Terry Neill. The FAI's preferred choice was McNeill, until Manchester City FC refused him permission). On 7 February 1986, Charlton was voted in as the new Ireland manager, ahead of Giles and Youth Team manager Liam Tuohy. After several successful campaigns, he resigned on 21 January 1996.
