Player unrest forces coach Alistair Edwards out of Perth Glory, Kenny Lowe to take over A player revolt led by skipper Jacob Burns has resulted in Perth Glory coach Alistair Edwards forced out of the club, with youth mentor Kenny Lowe to take charge for the rest of the A-League season. RENOWNED youth mentor Kenny Lowe is the favourite to take over as coach at Perth Glory and could be appointed as early as Wednesday following the sensational sacking of Alistair Edwards. Simon Hill chats to Fox Sports News about Perth Glory sacking head coach Alistair Edwards following a player revolt. Edwards has been effectively forced out of the club and captain Jacob Burns is set to lead the team out against Adelaide United on Sunday. Former coach Mich D'Avray is not believed to be in the running. Legal and payout issues regarding Edwards' three-year contract are yet to be resolved. Glory CEO Jason Brewer denied "the tail was wagging the dog" at the club despite the move appearing to be a stunning victory for player power. "It's with a lot of regret that this afternoon I had to inform Alistair Edwards that he would no longer be the head coach of Perth Glory Football Club," Brewer said. Brewer indicated it was Edwards' poor man-management skills that had cost him his job, but denied his sons Ryan and Cameron had been favoured over other players. "If you ask the majority of the players, I think when you look at the head coach's technical and tactical capabilities, I think he's one of the better coaches in the A-League," Brewer said. As we all know, to be able to be effective requires other qualities. On Tuesday Burns emerged as that man after receiving the backing of most of the squad in crisis talks over the past few days and the 35-year-old is set to make a triumphant return to the starting XI against the Reds at nib Stadium.
