The 56-year-old spent just two weeks in the job after temporarily replacing Gary Waddock, who has stepped aside from his duties for a number of months to undergo ankle surgery. 

Powell ended his short-lived spell with the Saddlers to become Jack Wilshere's assistant following his appointment as Luton Town manager on Monday. 

Sadler has revealed that conversations are taking place to bring in a new interim assistant, with the club hoping to have a clearer picture on the situation over the coming days. 

"It was an unfortunate part of the interim title, we always knew that that could happen along the way," the Walsall boss admitted. 

Chris Powell left Walsall after just two weeks to become Jack Wilshere's assistant at Luton Town on Monday.
