Chris Hughton will have to wait a while for his first game in charge of Albion at The Amex.
But the Seagulls' new boss will not have forgotten his last visit in a hurry.
Solly March made sure of that with a spectacular equaliser for Oscar Garcia's Albion in a 1-1 friendly draw against Hughton's Norwich in July 2013.
The result was the same for Hughton's only other managerial visit to The Amex, in the final home game of Albion's debut campaign at the stadium under Gus Poyet in April 2012. Hughton was in charge of Birmingham when a Nathan Redmond goal was cancelled out by Ashley Barnes in the closing stages. Birmingham finished fourth before losing in the play-offs to Blackpool.
Hughton's first home match at the helm is on Saturday January 17 against this Saturday's FA Cup hosts Brentford, where he spent a season towards the end of his playing career in the early 1990's.
Albion go to Charlton in-between the double-header with the Bees for Hughton's first league encounter seeking to extend a three-match unbeaten run in the Championship under his predecessor Sami Hyypia and caretaker Nathan Jones.
