Preston North End’s opponents for Saturday are on the search for a new manager following a shock departure.
Preston North End's Saturday opponents Millwall last night announced the shock decision to part company with Gary Rowett. The 49-year-old was the second-longest serving manager in the Championship, and was just a few days short of being Lions manager for four years. He had twice recorded two eighth place finishes, in between 11th and ninth placed finishes, so he always finished in the top-half.
He will be assisted by Paul Robinson, who spent 14-years as a player at Millwall, and had coaching experience as defensive coach at Portsmouth. Preston will be hoping there's no new manager bounce for Millwall, but there's plenty of speculation now as to who will get the job. The early favourite for the role is Kevin Muscat, who is said to have missed out on the Rangers job. The 50-year-old is currently in charge of Japanese outfit Yokohama F.
