Goes down as one of the best Millwall Manager's Kenny Jackett |
A statement on the Millwall website read this:
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."
