Gillingham have appointed Neil Harris as their new manager.

The former Cardiff City and Millwall boss has joined the Gills immediately and will take charge of their League One clash against Crewe Alexandra tomorrow.

Harris and assistant manager David Livermore have both signed two-and-a-half-year contracts with the club.

“It has been a difficult task over the past few weeks, interviewing and selecting the right candidate but I am delighted that with Neil’s experience, his knowledge and passion of this Football Club, and his desire to take the club on a new journey, that today is the start of a new tomorrow,” chairman Paul Scally told the club’s official website.

“After a difficult weekend, Neil’s first job will be to oversee any movement of players, in or out of the club today, and to prepare the team as best he can for tomorrow night’s game.”

Harris faces a tough task with 23rd-placed Gillingham currently sitting 10 points from safety in the League One table.
