Another one of Ipswich Town’s Championship rivals have parted company with their manager.
Millwall have tonight announced that boss Gary Rowett has departed The Den by mutual consent, ending his long reign in charge of the Lions.
He becomes the fourth managerial departure in the league this season after Neil Warnock (resigned at Huddersfield Town), Xisco Munoz (sacked by Sheffield Wednesday) and John Eustace (sacked by Birmingham City).
Rowett was the second longest-serving manager in the Championship and would’ve reached his four year anniversary at the club on October 21st.
Under his management, Millwall finished no lower than 11th in the second tier, ending last season in eighth place. They missed out on a play-off place with a 4-3 defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers on the final day of last season, while their underwhelming start to the 2023/24 campaign led to significant backlash off the field.
They currently sit 15th in the table with four wins, five draws and four defeats.
A club statement confirmed that the process of finding a replacement is already underway, with assistant manager Adam Barrett temporarily put in charge. Supporters have already highlighted the likes of Eustace and Kevin Muscat as the most suitable long-term appointments.
Town will face the Lions at Portman Road on Wednesday, November 29th.
