Former Everton assistant boss Joe Edwards is set to land his first managerial role, reports suggest.

Edwards served as Frank Lampard’s right-hand man for the best part of a year. Arriving in January 2022, the Toffees managed to avoid Premier League relegation on the penultimate day of the season following a dramatic 3-2 win over Crystal Palace at Goodison Park.

But Edwards left with Lampard when he was sacked in January 2023, with Everton second-bottom of the table. However, the former Chelsea and England under-20 coach is now primed to land his maiden managerial role with Championship side Millwall, according to the South London Press.

Ex-Everton defender Gary Rowett left by mutual consent last month and the Lions’ search for a replacement has taken them to Edwards.
