Andy Scott Named New Millers Boss

Rotherham have appointed Andy Scott as the club’s new manager, with the former Brentford boss agreeing a three-year contract.

The Millers parted ways with Ronnie Moore by mutual consent on March 22 following a disappointing run of form which saw the League Two outfit drift away from automatic promotion contention.

Andy Liddell and Paul Warne have taken caretaker charge of the club’s last four games, in which they have taken four points from a possible 12.

And Scott, sacked by Brentford at the start of February, will now take the reins with Rotherham four points outside the play-off places.

The 38-year-old guided the previously struggling Bees to the League Two title in his first full season at the helm in 2008/09, before then masterminding a ninth-placed finish in the club’s first year in League One.

Scott, who paid the price at Brentford earlier this season for a poor run of form, told Rotherham’s official website: “I feel privileged to be given the job of managing this progressive and ambitious club. It was a job I really wanted and to be able to share the ambition of the board is something I aim to work hard to achieve.

“I want to replicate what I achieved in my first full season at Brentford and I will be working tirelessly to accomplish just that.”
