Millwall head coach Alex Neil has signed a new contract that will keep him at The Den for the “foreseeable future”.
The 53-year-old replaced Neil Harris in the dugout in December and steered the Lions to an eighth-place finish, just two points outside the play-offs.
“I’m delighted and incredibly proud to sign this new contract,” Neil told the club’s website.
“Since my first day, the commitment and togetherness I’ve seen from everyone at the club – players, staff, and fans – has been really special.
“That unity has helped us build strong foundations for the seasons ahead, and to be a part of that journey is incredibly exciting.
“I’ve said it many times – this club is special. It’s only when you truly experience the work going on behind the scenes, speak with the fans, and work alongside the players and staff day in and day out, that you realise just how unique it really is.”
Neil won promotion to the Premier League with Norwich City in 2014-15 and led Sunderland to victory over Wycombe Wanderers in the League One play-off final in 2021-22.
His first match in charge at The Den was a 1-0 defeat to Oxford United, with his first victory coming 12 days later against Dagenham & Redbridge in the FA Cup.
A total of 12 wins from 21 Championship matches in charge pushed the Lions up into contention for a spot in the play-offs, but they just missed out with a final day defeat at Burnley.
