Nathan Jones is the new manager of Stoke City, the Club are delighted to confirm.Read more https://t.co/MKrUKTByrq#SCFC pic.twitter.com/ZAWuF2iNqN— Stoke City FC (@stokecity) January 9, 2019It has been a whirlwind from start to finish, I am delighted to have it done, but the process has been very manic.I have to say that this was the toughest decision of my life, it really was – I know that is a clich at times when managers move clubs, but it really was for me.The environment was special there, I had excellent relationships with key people, my relationship with the supporters was outstanding and I also had a group of players who dedicated every part of their life to performing well for the club.”The loss of Jones will be a blow to Luton, who are currently second in League One.All of those key aspects combined enhanced both my reputation and that of Luton Town, so it was a very tough decision to make.As a manager you want to be in charge of a real structure, environment and culture that is conducive to winning games and I had that there, having worked tirelessly over the past three years to get it. To get me to leave that really needed something special and the people at Luton were fully aware of that.As soon as I spoke to Peter and John and heard their vision and listened to what they want to achieve, I knew this was a step that I wanted to take.This is a club with wonderful tradition, it has a Premier League structure in every regard, baring the league this year of course.He added: I believe I am an appointment for the long-term here, I want to win games and I want to instil a culture and a philosophy that people are going to really get behind and be proud of.
