Wise gets Millwall job

13 April 2012

Dennis Wise has been confirmed as Millwall's player/manager after a successful spell as caretaker.

Former England midfielder Wise, along with assistant Ray Wilkins, were handed the reigns on a temporary basis at the New Den following Mark McGhee's departure last month.

During their four-game stint, the Lions lost just once, away at Norwich on Saturday, picking up two wins and a draw.

It was enough to impress chairmen Theo Paphitis, who has handed the pair contracts until the end of next season.

Paphitis told the club's official website, www.millwallfc.co.uk: "I am pleased with the appointment, it maintains continuity and allows us to continue with our stated aim of promotion to the Premiership.

"Dennis and Ray are both here until the end of next season, with Dennis also remaining a player for that period of time."

Millwall are currently in mid-table, although just one point behind sixth-placed West Ham.
