Ronnie Moore saddened by Rotherham United departure

Moore’s second spell as manager of the Millers came to an end on Tuesday after 18 months at the helm.

Rotherham are sixth in League Two and in danger of slipping out of the play-off places after a disappointing run of form.

Moore, in a statement through the League Managers Association, said: “I am deeply saddened to be leaving the club.

“I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all the fans, players and staff who worked so hard to try and bring success on the field.

“I remain very proud of my time with Rotherham, not just during this reign but also during my first spell as manager, in addition to my playing days with the club.

“I now wish everyone connected with the club all the best for the future and for their quest for promotion this season.”

Caretaker manager Andy Liddell has been placed in charge of the Millers until the end of the season.
