Millwall FC @Millwall__FC #Millwall FC can confirm that the Chairman and Board of Directors have, with reluctance, accepted the resignation of manager Kenny Jackett.
Kenny Jackett's resignation 'reluctantly' accepted Millwall Football Club has today announced that Kenny Jackett has resigned as manager of the club. The Board of Directors has, with reluctance, accepted his decision. Kenny stated: "After almost six seasons I personally feel the time is right for a new challenge, and also for a new manager to come into Millwall with fresh ideas, to take the club forward towards its long term goal of reaching the Premier League. I would like to thank the Chairman, the Board of Directors, players, members of staff and supporters of Millwall for their considerable backing. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Millwall. My family and I will always have a strong link and affinity with the club." Lions chairman John Berylson added: "On behalf of the Board of Millwall Football Club, I want to express my thanks to Kenny for his fantastic service and achievements over the past five and a half years. He has played a major role in creating a stable environment at Millwall which hadn’t been the case prior to his arrival. On a personal level, whilst respecting Kenny’s decision, I wish I could have persuaded him to change his mind. He was my first acquisition as chairman of the club and has proved himself to be one of the best. I am losing a great manager, but he will remain a good friend and hopefully, golf partner. I know everyone associated with Millwall, management, staff, players and fans, will wish Kenny all the very best with his future endeavours, except for those times when he might oppose us on the pitch. We are now determined to move the club forward and build on the foundations Kenny has provided towards even greater success."
Called it over the weekend. Can't do anymore with them unless he gets some wonga which ain't going to happen. Good manager. He'll be at Wolves next season.
If Brighton win the play offs and Wigan don't get relegated, Chris Powell will be the third longest serving manager in the division next season behind the perennial manager of the year candidate Tony Mowbray and Nigel Clough.
