The Lions sit in a respectable 11th position in the Championship table and Harris is a revered figure among The Den faithful. These factors made it a surprise when it was announced he will be stepping down from his position.
He will vacate the post following Millwall’s trip to Middlesbrough at the weekend, after which the Lions will look to appoint a new head coach.
Millwall chairman James Berylson said: “At the start of 2024, we found ourselves in a tough spot. Neil came in and along with his coaching staff galvanised the squad. Through action and leadership, he led Millwall on a magnificent run of form, ensuring our return to Championship football this season.
“I want to thank Neil for all his efforts since returning to the Club and we will be forever grateful to him for that. After discussions with Neil in recent days, he felt it was the right time to step down from the role following the Middlesbrough game and I have accepted his decision."
Here are the early BetVictor frontrunners to take the reins following Harris’ exit.
