Jackett out 'by mutual consent'
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett has left the Championship club by mutual consent. The club has recently been sold to a group of American businessmen, and Jackett made it clear that he did not want to work under the new owners. The club released an official statement on their website:
"Millwall FC can officially confirm the departure of manager Kenny Jackett by mutual consent. Kenny did a great job at our club but we believe a change is needed before we slip down the leagues once again. We wish Kenny best of luck for the future."
The board are reportedly searching for a new manager already, and having expressed interest in numerous American and Mexican players it has been suggested that the new manager may be from North America. Nothing has been announced for sure yet, but Terry Hurlock, a former Millwall favourite, has announced his intentions to land the job on a four year deal which he claims to have been offered. The board have been silent so far however, they have not revealed who is on their shortlist.
