Former Norwich City boss Alex Neil in Millwall job frame
Twelve months have passed since the Canaries’ former play-off-winning boss left Championship rival Stoke City.
However, after making an impression during discussions with Millwall’s top management, the 43-year-old is
predicted to succeed Neil Harris at the Lions.
According to reports, Steven Schumacher and Wycombe manager Matt Bloomfield have also been in talks, and Neil’s
old Norwich player Gary O’Neil was asked about his availability after leaving Premier League Wolves recently.
After a hectic first six months in charge, Neil led Norwich to the Premier League via Wembley, but he was unable to
retain the Canaries in the top division.
In order to make room for Daniel Farke to be hired, he was replaced towards the end of his first full season back in the Championship.
Before failing to turn around the Potters’ fortunes, the Scot had stints at Preston and Sunderland.
After orchestrating Blackburn’s defeat in a 1-0 league victory over the weekend that put the Lions three spots and
two points ahead of City, Millwall interim manager David Livermore anticipates staying in command for the trip to Carrow Road.
“I believe it’s a day-by-day situation. No problem if a new manager arrived on Monday morning. The South London
Press cited him as saying, “Let’s get started.” “The chairman has informed me that I will remain here beyond this
season. We’ve talked about my contract expiring at the end of the season.
“I’ve been informed that I will be staying after this season, but that will be my next assignment. I imagine the new
guy will want to bring at least one person with him when he starts. I feel very at ease with that. I consider myself to
be mediocre to good at a variety of things. Whatever the next head coach wants me to do, I can shape it quite well.
“Based on our conversations, it appears that I will be leading Thursday’s match against Norwich, barring any
changes since my last meeting with the chairman.
However, that can alter once more. I’m not sure.
“People talk about being level, but it’s good to stop that (three losses in a row).” Even if you’re having a great run, you
may experience a change in perspective after a few losses. Be level and happy with the victory, then.
