Millwall have confirmed the appointment of Willie Donachie as their new manager on a permanent basis.
Donachie took charge of the Lions in September following the sacking of Nigel Spackman and has seen his charges lose just twice in ten games.
Chairman Stewart Till told the club's official website: "We knew Willie would prove a safe pair of hands because he is a vastly-experienced coach and assistant.
"But we wanted to be certain he was the right man to take charge in the long term.
"There were other candidates, but increasingly it became clear that the players were responding to Willie and we began to see signs of a steady all-round improvement in the club's fortunes on the field.
"There is still much to be done, but the board have now reached the conclusion that Willie is ideally suited to preside over a continued progression."
