Leyton Orient have named Danny Webb as manager until the end of the season after Andy Edwards left to take up a role at the FA.
Webb will be tasked with keeping the O's in the Football League after they dropped into the Sky Bet League Two relegation places on Saturday following a 2-0 defeat at Mansfield.
The 33-year-old's first game in charge will be the visit of promotion-chasing Carlisle to the Matchroom Stadium this weekend, with Webb having already been promoted from first team coach to assistant manager.
Edwards confirmed earlier on Sunday he was leaving the club after barely two months in the role.
"It is with regret that I have made the decision to stand down as manager of Leyton Orient FC," Edwards said.
"It has been a very difficult decision but I feel that it is in the best interests of my career and my family.
"I have been offered and duly accepted a role working within the coaching department of the Football Association.
"It has been an honour and a privilege to have worked for the club for over seven and a half years.
"I thank the chairman for the opportunity to manage the team and I thank all staff, players and supporters for the backing that they have given to me in my time here.
"It goes without saying that I wish Leyton Orient FC every success in the challenge ahead and in the longer-term future."
