Neil Lennon is the odds-on favourite to take over at English League Two side Leyton Orient.

The former Celtic boss has been without a club for over a year after leaving Parkhead last February.

Leyton Orient sit 18th in the fourth tier of English football and are looking for a new boss after Kenny Jackett was sacked last month.

Lennon is the current front-runner for the post ahead of the likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Darren Ferguson and Lee Johnson.

The 50-year old has done plenty of media work in recent months and has stated he is keen to make a return to management.

He told__ FourFourTwo: "Well, I’m certainly not ready for retirement.

"The hunger remains, the fire in my belly is still there and I’m in love with the game as much as I’ve ever been.

"I’d love another crack at management – and even if I say so myself, I don’t think my CV’s too bad..."
