Nolan sacked by Orient as manager

|

Former Hammer and Skipper Kevin Nolan has been relieved of his managerial duties at Leyton Orient but will remain as a player at least until the end of the seasonKevin-Nolan

Leyton Orient  released an Official Statement:

Following inaccurate reports in the media today, Alessandro Angelieri, the Club’s CEO, has issued the following statement:

“Everyone at the Club is fighting hard to make sure we reach the play-offs this season. Whilst that aim remains within reach, we have decided that Kevin should focus entirely on his playing contribution until the end of the season.

“We believe that Kevin will be able to make a bigger impact on the team without the distraction of managerial duties.

“Andy Hessenthaler, who has been assisting Kevin over the past few months, will take charge of the first team in the interim.”

Another former Hammer Ian Hendon was sacked by Leyton Orient back in mid-January after a string of defeats. Nolan was Orient’s fifth manager in under two years.
