Alex Neil has been appointed as Millwall manager on a long-term contract.
Neil’s appointment marks his return to management following a 12-month absence after he was sacked by Stoke in December 2023.
Millwall Chairman, James Berylson is “excited” about Neil’s “passion and energy” for the role, and has pledged his support.
“We have a clear vision and strategy at the club that Alex is aligned with, and he has some really exciting ideas of how we can progress with those objectives and ambitions together across the entire club.
“All our support is there for Alex, and I can’t wait to see what he can do for us. I, alongside everybody at Millwall, wish him the very best as our new Head Coach.”
Director of Football, Steve Gallen added that the club had undergone “… a thorough and efficient recruitment process,” to secure Neil as manager ahead of their home game against Oxford United on 1 January 2025.
Gallen proceeded to explain that Neil “has an excellent track record in The Championship for results and development of young talent,” having taken Norwich to promotion via 2015 Play-Offs and hopes for similar progress.
“Alex’s hunger to take this football club to the next level was clear during the several conversations we had. He has proven methods that have worked successfully in a hugely competitive League and has exciting ideas of how he sees this team developing.”
