Joe Edwards has been named new manager of Millwall.

The former Chelsea U21 coach leaves his post as England U20 manager to take charge of the Championship club.

Andy Myers has been named as Edwards' No2. Myers leaves his role inside Chelsea's academy to move to the New Den.

"Firstly, it's a really proud day for me and my family," Edwards told the club's official website.

"Although I have been coaching for a long time, a lot of people will be aware that this is my first job managing as Head Coach.

"Throughout the years, at various levels, you think you would like to have the opportunity to make the step up. To do it at a club like this, to be Head Coach of Millwall Football Club - I don't take that lightly at all. I'm really excited."

Chairman James Berylson said: "With Joe, I'm excited. He is somebody who I think is very innovative and has some positive ideas about the progression we can make as a club.

"It was a thorough process, with no stone left unturned, and Joe was engaging, attentive, and impressive throughout, and I felt that we could have a productive working relationship together.

"We welcome both Joe and Andy to The Den with open arms and look forward to seeing the impact they can make on and off the pitch throughout what we hope to be a long relationship with Millwall."
