Millwall’s chairman, James Berylson, expressed his appreciation for Gary’s contributions during his time as manager and conveyed the best wishes of everyone associated with the club. He also noted that Rowett had elevated the club’s on-field performance during his four-year successful tenure.
Gary Rowett, who assumed leadership of the club in 2019 and oversaw a series of mid-table finishes in the second tier, expressed his gratitude to the fans for their support and the unique atmosphere they create. He acknowledged the progress made during his time at Millwall and mentioned that, in football, there are times when parting ways feels right. Rowett extended thanks to various individuals, including club officials, his backroom staff, and the hardworking players who had dedicated themselves to the club during a successful and enjoyable four-year period.
Adam Barrett has been appointed as the interim manager, with the support of fellow coach Paul Robinson.
Millwall is the fourth Championship club to make a managerial change this season, following the footsteps of Huddersfield Town, Sheffield Wednesday, and Birmingham City.
