Luke Garrard

Luke Garrard would certainly be an appointment that Orient supporters would be enthusiastic about.

The 36-year-old has done a tremendous job with Boreham Wood since 2015 and most recently oversaw and incredible FA Cup triumph in beating Bournemouth 1-0 in the FA Cup.

With games in hand on their side, Wood will also be confident of pushing for the National League’s sole automatic promotion spot and should at least hold on for a play-off place.

It is fairly local to Orient and therefore could suit both parties.

Derek Adams

Derek Adams was recently dismissed by Bradford City and is the bookies’ favourite for the vacant Morecambe manager role.

However, Orient are arguably a club with more potential that could offer a longer
