RICKY Duncan and Kevin Maher will be in charge of Southend United for Saturday’s clash at Rochdale.

Shrimpers chairman Ron Martin has told Echosport that a new manager will not bossing Blues this weekend.

Duncan is currently head of academy at Roots Hall while Maher – who made more than 450 appearances for the club – is the under 23 team manager.
