SOUTHEND United boss Steve Tilson has made little progress in his search for a new assistant manager.

Tilson’s long term number two Paul Brush was dismissed last March following a 3-0 defeat at Hartlepool United.

He was briefly replaced by David Webb but Tilson ended the season working alone.

And his search for a new permanent assistant continues.

“There is nothing to report on that at the moment,” confirmed Tilson.
