Neil Harris has stepped down as Millwall head coach, who is in line to replace him?
Neil Harris will step down as Millwall head coach after Saturday’s clash with Middlesbrough, ending his second stint at the club having spent four years as manager from 2015-2019.
The Lions’ all-time leading scorer, Harris returned in February and led them from the brink of relegation to a 13th-place finish last season.
Currently 11th in the Championship, Millwall have struggled recently, failing to win in four games and losing key players to injury.
Millwall's home clash against Sheffield United on Wednesday will mark his penultimate game in charge.
Harris declared, "I always said I'd leave when the time felt right—and that time is now."
The Lions must now look for a replacement to take charge at The Den and there are a number of names linked to the job.

Who is favourite to be the next Millwall manager?
Steve Cooper, recently dismissed by Leicester after guiding the newly promoted side to 16th—just one spot above the relegation zone—in their Premier League return, is the frontrunner to replace Neil Harris at Millwall.
He is a best price of 5/1 with Bet Victor.
The Englishman was sacked by Nottingham Forest last season and might be interestied in stepping down into the Championship - a league which he gained promotion from in the 2021/22 season.
The next favourite is Mark Robbins who was controversially sacked by Coventry last month after being in charge for seven years, eight months and one day.
The former Man United striker had lead the side to four Wembley trips, two promotions, a trophy win, and an FA Cup semi-final and would be an interesting candidate for the job.
He is a best price of 6/1 (an implied chance of 14%)
Former Charlton boss Michael Appleton, Millwall’s previous long-term manager Gary Rowett, and Steven Schumacher are all 6/1 contenders to become the next Millwall manager.
