Millwall have dismissed manager Ian Holloway and installed club legend Neil Harris as they attempt to try and avoid relegation from The Championship . Chairman John Berylson and the board are believed to have lost patience with Holloway following Saturday 's 4-1 home defeat against Norwich City and a decision was announced on Tuesday morning . Harris scored a club record 138 goals in 432 appearances for The Lions and currently works at The New Den coaching their elite development squad . Ian Holloway scratches his head , but time has run out for him to find the solutions to Millwall 's problems . Jonathan Howson scored for Norwich during their 4-1 win over Millwall , the club 's fourth straight defeat . He served as caretaker-manager last season after Millwall sacked Steve Lomas before appointing Holloway . The dismissal of Holloway is a devastating blow to one of football 's most colourful and quotable managers . Known throughout the game as 'Olly ' , he helped Blackpool win promotion to the Premier League where they were only relegated on the final day with a defeat at Manchester United . Neil Harris , currently the elite development squad coach at Millwall , has been caretaker-manager before . Harris is a legend at Millwall , having scored over 100 times for the club as a player . Holloway fails to get his message across to his players in another defeat for the Championship strugglers . But since leaving Broomfield Road , Holloway was sacked by Crystal Palace and things have n't gone well at Millwall this season . The club have picked up only two wins from 15 matches and are eight points from safety . He was booed by fans at the weekend and now his 14-month tenure at the club is over .
Ian Holloway sacked on Tuesday after four straight defeats . The former England striker was replaced by Steve McClaren, who took over from David Moyes in the summer.
