Walsall close in on new boss
Walsall are edging closer to appointing a new permanent head coach, the Express & Star understands.
Co-chairman Benjamin Boycott, the head of American-based Trivela Group, flew over to the UK last week to conduct interviews with a handful of candidates as the club prepares itself for a decision on the next boss.
Reports have suggested that former Wolves defender Neill Collins, who currently manages American side Tampa Bay Rowdies, is in talks for the role – but it is understood Walsall are considering their options and speaking to several candidates before making a decision.
After the round of interviews last week, the club are now getting closer to an appointment, following the sacking of Michael Flynn in April.
First-team coach and former defender Mat Sadler took over as interim boss as Walsall finished 16th in League Two.
