Former Wycombe Wanderers defender Darius Charles has been put in 'temporary control' of AFC Wimbledon, and could be in the dugout when the two teams meet next month.
The 34-year-old, who spent three seasons with the Chairboys between 2018 and 2021, re-joined the Dons last summer but has only featured in two EFL Trophy fixtures for the South West London outfit so far this campaign.
However, following the departure of manager Mark Robinson, Charles has been put in charge of the club, as they aim to avoid relegation back to League Two.

No definitive timescale has been given for Charles’ reign as Dons’ manager, and if no permanent appointment is made before the end of the season, the Wanderers cult hero could be in charge when Wycombe travel to Plough Lane on Easter Monday.
AFC Wimbledon are currently winless in 20 league games, and sit in 21st place.
He said: “I have seen first-hand the fight and spirit within this squad.
“There are still 21 points to play for and nobody will be throwing in the towel.
“Of course, none of us want to be in this position but we have a job to do and we will give it everything we have - not just for the club and the fans but also for Robbo, who instilled so much belief in these players.”
