MANAGER

Joe Edwards (born 26 September 1986) is an English professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Championship club Millwall.

Playing career
Edwards is a product of Chelsea's youth academy since the age of 8, and worked his way up their youth categories. He was released by the club at the age of 16.[1]

Coaching career
Shortly after being released, Edwards was approached by Neil Bath to join Chelsea's staff in 2004 at the age of 17 and started working on his coaching badges. He initially trained the U8s, and from 2006 to 2014 coached various different youth levels for the club.[2] In 2014 he was appointed the manager of the Chelsea U18s and helped them win 2 consecutive FA Youth Cups.[3] In 2016, he was appointed as loan player manager, and often went out to other clubs to track the development of different loan players, and also exposed him to different managerial styles.[1] On 6 May 2017, he returned to manage the Chelsea U19s and U23s replacing Adi Viveash.[4] In 2017, he was also part of the England U20s backroom staff that helped them win the 2017 Toulon Tournament.[5] In June 2017, he earned his pro license.[6] The following season in 2018, he took the Chelsea U23s to the semifinals for the EFL Trophy, the highest placement so far by a reserve team.[7]

For the 2019–20 season, Edwards was appointed as assistant manager for the first time under Frank Lampard.[8] He remained assistant at Chelsea after Lampard was sacked and Thomas Tuchel was appointed, and was part of the backroom staff as they won the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League.[9] In January 2022, he followed Lampard and was assistant manager with him again at Everton, leaving Chelsea after 27 years associated with the club.[10] In April 2023, he once more returned to Chelsea as assistant under Lampard as he filled in as interim manager. In August 2023, he was appointed as the interim manager for the England U20s.[11] On 6 November 2023, he was appointed as the manager for Championship club Millwall.[12] In his debut game, Edwards led Millwall to a 4–0 win at Sheffield Wednesday, the Lions largest away win in the second tier since 2001.[13]

BUILDING RENOVATIONS

Who’s Available?

Duane Holmes, Freddie Woodman and Milutin Osmajić are all back involved after missing last Sunday’s match against Leeds United.

Jack Whatmough will be absent through injury again, however he is back training with the group and should be able to return the following weekend at home to Ipswich Town. Ched Evans will also miss out as he looks to strengthen his hamstrings.

Skipper Alan Browne could become the 13th player to reach 400 appearances for PNE this weekend, and would be the second youngest to reach this tally, with only Lee Cartwright doing it sooner.

Opposition Focus


Millwall will be looking to get back on track following three successive defeats, which were preceded by three victories in a row.

Those wins came as part of a five-match unbeaten run which looked to be the turning point for new head coach Joe Edwards, who was appointed in November, following a mixed start to life at The Den.

Edwards – formerly of Chelsea, Everton and England – was left disappointed with their previous outing in a derby day defeat to Queens Park Rangers, saying they weren’t good enough in “pretty much every department”.

A Recent Clash


In the reverse fixture in October 2023, Mads Frøkjær’s early goal was cancelled out by Zian Flemming as the points were shared at Deepdale.
