Millwall set sights on Hearts boss Naismith after Scottish success
Naismith’s progress has unsurprisingly brought him onto the radar of clubs in England as they consider making managerial changes in the summer.
They include Millwall, who recently appointed Neil Harris for a second time on a contract until June 2025.
Harris, 46, quit his managerial job at League One side Cambridge United after just two months in charge to rejoin his former side.
He previously managed Millwall for four years between 2015 and 2019 having had several stints as a caretaker boss beforehand.
He made his return to The Den with the Londoners struggling in the Championship and tangled in a relegation battle down in 18th place.
