Millwall announce Ian Holloway arrival

Millwall have announced the arrival of Ian Holloway as the club's new manager.

The 50-year-old has agreed terms on a contract at The Den which will see him in charge until the end of the 2015-16 season.

Millwall said that Holloway will take up his position this week and be in charge for the Lions' next Championship match against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

It is Holloway's first job since he left Crystal Palace in October. He takes over from Steve Lomas, who was sacked on Boxing Day, in South London.

Holloway takes over with Millwall a point above the drop zone in the Championship.
