Millwall chief executive Andy Ambler has revealed that the club have not made any approaches to fill their vacant manager's position.

The Lions are in the hunt for a new boss following the resignation of Kenny Jackett on Tuesday.

Several names have been linked with the post, but Ambler has insisted that the club have not approached potential candidates.

Ambler told the club's official website: "The process is ongoing. We're aware of widespread reports in the media but I'd like to clarify to supporters that we are yet to approach anybody about the position left after Kenny's resignation.

"Naturally, there will be speculation, and as a Board we've been enthused by the number and quality of applicants that have put their names forward so far.

"But that is only as far as it has got. It's still just a matter of days since the process began and the club will take all the time it needs to find the appropriate person to fill the vacancy."

Former Millwall player Marc Bircham and former Oldham boss Paul Dickov have emerged as contenders to replace Jackett.
