Early front-runners announced as Millwall unveiled their new manager plan

Adam Barrett will be in interim control while John Eustace and Kevin Muscat are predicted to follow Gary Rowett.

Millwall has decided not to expedite the appointment of a new manager following their split from Gary Rowett.

After four seasons as the Lions’ manager, Rowett led the team to top-half finishes each time, but they were unable to qualify for the postseason.

Despite having a patchy start to the season, Millwall is now ranked fifteenth in the Championship.

Millwall and Rowett felt that their voyage had reached its apogee, and after discussions, they decided to split ways.

For Saturday’s match at Preston, assistant manager Adam Barrett will lead the club. However, Millwall has already received approaches from potential candidates as part of the ongoing hunt for Rowett’s replacement.

The current favorite among bookies is Kevin Muscat, a former midfielder for the Lions. After taking over for Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, he led Yokohama F. Marinos to victory in the Japanese top division in the previous season.

Earlier this month, Muscat, who led Millwall to the FA Cup final in 2004, had an interview for the Rangers position, but Philippe Clement was chosen instead.

John Eustace, who was fired by Birmingham earlier this month, is also the early favorite.
