Millwall boss Tuttle resigns

David Tuttle has resigned as Millwall manager following the club’s relegation to League One.

Tuttle took over from Colin Lee in December but in 20 Coca-Cola Championship games in charge, the Lions recorded just four wins.

His assistant Tony Burns and Alan McLeary will take over first-team affairs for the final two games of the season, against Burnley and Crewe.

Tuttle told the club’s official website, www.millwallfc.co.uk: “Naturally I am very disappointed we were not able to avoid relegation, but I would like to thank the staff and players for giving it their best shot.

“In particular, I would like to thank the fans for the way they have supported the team during a very frustrating season and I wish the club every success for the future.”
