RENOWNED youth coach Kenny Lowe is set to take over as coach at Perth Glory for the rest of the season following the sensational departure of Alistair Edwards.
Edwards has been effectively forced out of the club and captain Jacob Burns will lead the team out against Adelaide United on Sunday.
They are the latest developments in the sensational mid-season player revolt against Edwards.

Edwards refused to comply with a list of demands provided by the club, which wanted to rein in the scope of his power.
CEO Jason Brewer will address the media at 6pm WA time at training.
Lowe, a former assistant coach at Glory under Dave Mitchell, is the head of the successful WA National Training Centre.
The Sunday Times and PerthNow revealed on the weekend that there was a bitter player-driven revolt against Edwards - as distinct to purely a personal feud between coach and captain as portrayed by Edwards - and that it was likely only one of the pair could survive at the club.

On Tuesday, Burns has emerged as that man after receiving the backing of most of the squad in crisis talks over the past few days and the 35-year-old is set to make a triumphant return to the starting XI against the Reds at nib Stadium.
Glory launched crisis talks on Saturday after players directly challenged Edwards in the team's AAMI Park dressing room following Friday night's 2-0 loss to Melbourne Victory.
Ill feeling had been building for some time before Friday's flashpoint.
Glory players claimed on Saturday that the situation was "an absolute farce'' and that Edwards had "lost almost the entire dressing room''.
The concerns of players revolved around perceived nepotism shown by Edwards, who signed his sons Cameron, 21, and Ryan, 20, before the season, inconsistencies in selection and the coach's man management style.
Some players even believe the tactical balance of Glory's match-day squads this season has been compromised by Edwards' desire to include both of his sons.
The handling of contract negotiations with defender Steve Pantelidis, and his subsequent departure to Malaysia, also angered some players.
Burns was left out of the starting XI and was an unused substitute in Friday night's loss to Victory in one of a number of recent selection decisions that have raised eyebrows.
Ryan Edwards was preferred to Burns in a re-jigged starting formation, while Cameron Edwards was deployed off the bench.
The situation echoes the ugly reign of former coach Steve McMahon, who was sacked in December 2005 amid a similar player backlash.
McMahon signed his son, Stephen McMahon Jr, who was widely viewed to be of less than A-League standard.
