Harris was only hired as Millwall boss in February in what has been his fifth different spell at the club.

He replaced Joe Edwards at The Den, with the club just a point above the relegation zone.

Harris steered them to safety and just six points off the play-offs.

However, his decision comes just days after he referred to some supporters in a derogatory way.

He said: “That is where people have to get their heads out of the clouds and realise how well we’ve done to achieve what we have so far. And how tough it is for us as a group.

“Right at the end we put the ball in the box and one of my young centre-forwards and one of my young wingers are standing outside of the penalty area. It shows a lot of learning we have got in front of us.

“You miss Romain, you miss Japhet and you miss Jake Cooper. Three players that probably get in any Championship team. Just a reminder to people, the thickos, that when you take the three best players out of the team that this is Millwall Football Club.”
