Speaking to the club's official website, Jones said: "I'm really proud to be given this opportunity.
"I know a lot about the club from back in the days of The Dell, to coming here to St Mary’s, and it’s a wonderful football club."
In his first spell at Luton between 2016 and 2019, Jones guided the Hatters from League Two to League One.
