Millwall have revealed that their search for a new manager will end on Monday, with former striker Steve Claridge favourite to take over.
Chairman Jeff Burnige confirmed that the Millwall board will meet to confirm a successor to Dennis Wise.

And Burnige expects an official announcement to be made on Tuesday.

George Burley turned down the job after talks with Burnige, leaving Claridge, who had two spells with the club, in pole position for a three-year deal.

Burnige said on the club website: "I am well aware that this has been a lengthy process but the discussions with a number of interested parties have taken place, for the most part in complete confidentiality.

"And, having conducted the last round of three interviews over the weekend, the board of directors are now scheduled to meet on Monday to make the final decision."

It has been reported that Claridge flew back from conducting media work at the Confederations Cup in Germany to open discussions with the Millwall board.

Former Cardiff manager Lennie Lawrence had also been linked with the job, along with Birmingham assistant manager Eric Black.

Wise left The New Den in early May, admitting he was at odds with Burnige over the future direction of the club.
