Not all of the decisions were forced while some were shrouded in tragic circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Following their promotion from the National League in 2018\/19, Justin Edinburgh was set to lead them in League Two <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/06\/09\/justin-edinburgh-unsung-hero\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">before his sad passing<\/a> last summer. Current head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/09\/23\/ross-embleton-deserves-praise-for-stepping-up-at-leyton-orient\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embleton took over<\/a> temporarily <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/10\/16\/leyton-orient-carl-fletcher-head-coach\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">before Carl Fletcher<\/a> was brought in to kick start a new era.<\/p>\n<p>Fletcher, though, lasted just five league matches before it was decided <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2019\/11\/14\/carl-fletcher-sacked-leyton-orient\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his appointment wasn&#8217;t working<\/a>. After another caretaker spell in charge, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/01\/07\/ross-embleton-lands-leyton-orient-job-on-permanent-basis\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embleton took the job on a permanent basis<\/a>, with Danny Webb and Jobi McAnuff by his side.<\/p>\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leytonorient.com\/2020\/02\/12\/club-statement-danny-webb-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Webb left the club<\/a> suddenly earlier in the season and former goalkeeper Brill, who had retired due to injury, was appointed in Webb&#8217;s role.<\/p>\n<p>The addition of Senda looks to have completed the rebuild of the coaching staff in the way Embleton wanted it and, with pre-season set to start soon, Senda has plenty of time to get integrated with the squad.<\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said?<\/h3>\n<p>As a player, Senda made over 300 appearances for Wycombe, who were <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/2020\/07\/14\/wycombe-wanderers-secure-promotion-to-the-championship-with-victory-over-oxford-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">promoted to the Championship<\/a> last night, having come through the youth academy at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/southampton\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southampton<\/a>. He went on to have spells at Millwall, Torquay United, Bristol Rovers and Barnet before becoming a coach at the latter, having had a brief stint as an academy coach at Brentford.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the Leyton Orient club website, Senda explained what he feels his strengths are as a coach and how he plans to support Embleton in his role.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leytonorient.com\/2020\/07\/14\/danny-senda-appointed-assistant-head-coach\/?amp=1\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">He said<\/a>: <span class=\"s1\">\u201cI\u2019m a player\u2019s coach, really.
