Barrett leaves Millwall to pursue head coach ambition

Adam Barrett played for clubs including Bristol Rovers, Southend and Gillingham before joining the Millwall coaching staff

Assistant boss Adam Barrett has left Millwall in the wake of head coach Neil Harris' departure earlier this month.

Barrett had been part of the coaching team at The Den since 2017 and was twice placed in interim charge - in 2019 and again last year.

"We've experienced the joys of promotion from League One together to now being an established, competitive Championship side," he told the club website.

"I have learnt so much throughout, and now feel the time is right to pursue my aspiration of becoming a head coach or manager elsewhere."

David Livermore has been acting boss since Harris left the club, but former Norwich, Preston, Sunderland and Stoke manager Alex Neil has been tipped to take over on a permanent basis.
