Joe Edwards has talked about his extensive head coach experience after taking on that job at Millwall.

The 37-year-old was appointed as the Lions’ new head coach this afternoon.

The Lions have secured the England U20 head coach as Gary Rowett’s successor.

Millwall have confirmed the appointment of Joe Edwards as their new head coach.

The 37-year-old is leaving his current role as England U20 head coach to take over at the Lions.

We revealed in Episode Four of the South London Press Football Podcast that the current caretaker manager will not be leaving.

Millwall are set to confirm Joe Edwards as their new head coach.

Southampton manager Russell Martin felt his side’s dominance with the ball was a key factor in them finishing so strongly in their 1-0 win at Millwall.

Millwall look set to announce their new manager next week and this looks set to be the sign-off for caretaker Adam Barrett, who has seen stoppage-time goals in successive matches cost them four points after last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Watford.

Barrett has kept faith with the starting 11 that earned a 2-2 draw at Watford last time out.

The 27-year-old centre-back scored twice in 140 appearances for Rotherham United but already has matched that in just nine matches for the Lions, who he joined on a free transfer in the summer.

The Belgian midfielder, signed from OH Leuven in the summer, has been dubbed the Deptford De Bruyne by sections of the Lions support.

Russell Martin’s side have taken 14 points from a possible 18, a return which has seen them climb to fourth in the standings.

Millwall are close to reaching a conclusion in their managerial search with Nathan Jones and Joe Edwards both frontrunners for the job.

The Lions assistant boss stepped up after Gary Rowett left by mutual consent last month.

Millwall are set to have Shaun Hutchinson and Ryan Leonard back in their squad for Saturday’s home game against Southampton.
