Leyton Orient appoint Steve Davis as head coach

National League side Leyton Orient have appointed Steve Davis as their new head coach on a two-year deal.

Davis will work alongside assistant coach Ross Embleton as look for an immediate return to the English Football League.

Davis was sacked as Crewe manager in January after more than five years as manager of Crewe. Leyton Orient will begin their National League season at Sutton United on 5 August.

A troubled campaign on and off the pitch last year saw the club finish bottom of League Two under and having five different managers. Relegation out of the Football League was the first time in 112 years.
