Italian Serse Cosmi is the odds on favourite to become the next Leyton Orient manager although it is understood the club have no plans to bring him in as head coach. 

The 56-year-old is 1/4 with Sky Bet and 1/3 with Bet Victor although a source at the club insists there is no suggestion of a change in coach with Kevin Nugent still in charge despite not signing a contract. 

It is understood that Cosmi, who coached Orient sporting director Mauro Milanese at Perugia, is simply interested in learning more about the English game. 

Cosmi is regarded as one of the most passionate coaches in Italy and was most recently in charge of Serie B side Pescara last season.
