Former Reggae Boy Jobi McAnuff has been appointed interim manager of League II club Leyton Orient after the club parted ways with head coach Ross Embleton on the weekend.

Orient and Embleton went their separate ways after the club’s 3-1 loss to Tranmere Rovers on Saturday. The loss left Orient in 14th place in the league eight points adrift of the play-off places.

Nigel Travis, Leyton Orient’s chairman confirmed then that McAnuff would fill in until further notice.

"Jobi is a natural leader and someone we feel has got what it takes to make a top-class manager," he told Skysports.

The 39-year-old McAnuff made 166 appearances for Leyton Orient over two spells – from 2014-2016 and from 2017.

McAnuff made 32 international appearances for Jamaica between 2002 and 2016.
