Leyton Orient have appointed Jobi McAnuff as interim manager and set him the target of making the Sky Bet League Two play-offs.
Orient parted company with head coach Ross Embleton following Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat to Tranmere, which left them in 14th place and eight points adrift of the play-off places.
The O’s have turned to the 39-year-old McAnuff, who has made 166 appearances in two spells at Orient and captained the club to the National League title in the 2018-19 season.
