Glory coach sacked in day of drama Player power has won out at Perth Glory, with coach Alistair Edwards sensationally sacked after becoming embroiled in a bitter feud with the team's senior members. Glory hope to appoint an interim coach by Thursday after firing Edwards just one season into his three-year deal following a player revolt. Tensions at the club reached a flashpoint on Friday night when Jacob Burns and Edwards became involved in a heated argument after the Glory skipper was left on the bench in his team's 2-0 loss to Melbourne Victory. When Edwards arrived back in Perth on Saturday, he admitted a rift had developed between he and Burns. Senior players had become increasingly frustrated over Edwards' team selections, including a perceived nepotism towards his two sons Cameron and Ryan. "Unfortunately after two days of discussions with the head coach, we weren't able to reach agreement on those measures being implemented," Brewer said. Despite his role in the turmoil, Burns is set to remain as captain. Brewer denied Edwards' sacking was a case of the tail wagging the dog. He also scoffed at talk that the sacking of Edwards might result in a rift between his two sons and the rest of the player group. Both Ryan and Cameron appeared at training on Tuesday, and Brewer said there was no indication that either of them would leave. Seventh-placed Glory host Adelaide United at nib Stadium on Sunday.
