Millwall have confirmed that St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas will take charge at the Den next week.
.
The former Manchester City and West Ham midfielder, 39, has spent two seasons at the Scottish Premier League club.
.
Millwall chairman John Berylson said: "Steve has great passion and energy, knows a lot about Millwall as a club already, and this is a job he is genuinely hungry for.
.
"We want the best man for the job, and we believe that man is Steve Lomas."
.
Millwall have agreed terms with Lomas and St Johnstone, and he will start work when he returns from holiday next week.
.
The former Northern Ireland international joined St Johnstone in November 2011 after a spell as manager of non-league outfit St Neots Town and time as reserve team manager at West Ham.
.
Lomas led the Perth club to consecutive top-six finishes in the SPL, securing a place in the Europa League qualifying round on each occasion.
.
Championship side Millwall have been without a manager since Kenny Jackett resigned at the end of last season after five and a half years in charge. Jackett has since been appointed head coach of Wolves.
At least Danny Shittu would have a chance to learn under a new manager. Maybe he would improve under this one.
