League Two play-off chasers Walsall have confirmed that Darren Byfield will remain as interim head coach until the end of the season. Byfield will now stay at the helm for at least the remaining eight matches of the regular season with Walsall two points outside the top seven. We are right behind Darren, our coaching staff and the team to give us an end of the season to remember." After beating Crewe Alexandra 3-0 in his first game, Byfield's side held automatic promotion hopefuls Cambridge United to a goalless draw on Tuesday. They take on Newport County in their next game at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium on Saturday, hoping for their first home win since 26 December.
