Leyton Orient have stripped player-manager Kevin Nolan of his coaching responsibilities, placing Andy Hessenthaler in charge of the side. Nolan, 33, has won seven of his 15 games since joining the O’s in January. Orient have taken one point from their last four games but remain two points off the League Two play-off places. “We believe Kevin will be able to make a bigger impact without the distraction of managerial duties,” Orient chief executive Alessandro Angelieri said. Nolan played with our own Austin Okocha at Bolton and succeeded Okocha as Bolton’s captain.
