Millwall Official Site - Manager latest

Millwall Executive Deputy Chairman Heather Rabbatts has confirmed that the interviewing process for the managerial vacancy is well underway, but the Board are not under pressure to make a rushed appointment.
"Naturally, everybody would like this matter resolved as quickly as possible" she stated, "but as we saw on Saturday, the players are totally committed to playing for Richard Shaw and Colin West in the interim, and we have no concerns if they remain in charge of team affairs for another week or two if necessary.
It is true that one of the candidates we interviewed was Kenny Jackett who is currently coaching at Manchester City, but he has subsequently communicated to us that he does not after all wish to be considered for the position.
We have, however, a number of other very strong candidates in mind and will continue to conduct our selection process with due care.
Inevitably, several names have been linked with the post in the press, but at this stage we are not in a position to confirm or deny rumours.
We will keep our supporters fully updated with our progress as soon as we have any further concrete news for them." Millwall

But now the former Swansea boss has completely ruled himself out of contention following Donachie's departure last week.
Jackett is currently working with the Manchester City first team, while Sven-Goran Eriksson's assistant Hans Backe is absent on compassionate grounds Sporting Life
