- Joe Edwards has been sacked after just 19 games in charge of Millwall following a string of poor results.
-
- “A further announcement regarding the club’s next Head Coach will be made in due course,” a club statement read on Wednesday.
- Reports have now identified the likely candidate to take over in the shape of an experienced boss who utilises a 4-2-3-1 formation.
After just 19 games in charge, Millwall have sacked Joe Edwards and have already made an offer to his replacement, pursuing a shock return. The London club are currently just one point adrift of the relegation zone in the Championship.
Joe Edwards sacked
It looks as though Millwall’s recent 2-0 defeat against bottom side Sheffield Wednesday was the nail in the coffin for Edwards’ tenure, which lasted just 19 games. Four wins in that time just about sums things up and, now, confirmed by a club statement on Wednesday afternoon, he has been relieved of his duties at The Den. With a matter of months remaining to turn things around, Millwall must get their next decision right or face the prospect of relegation down to League One.
Having finished as high as eighth last season, missing out on a play-off place by just one point, it’s been some fall from grace for the Lions throughout the current campaign. Going from play-off hopefuls to relegated in the space of a year would be some disaster for all involved, but if their form continues, it could very much be their reality.
