Millwall have appointed former Wimbledon and Sheffield United manager Dave Bassett to their coaching staff until the end of the season.

Bassett will work alongside manager Dennis Wise and will play an active role in the players' coaching two days a week. He is also expected to be in the dug-out on match days, leading to speculation that assistant boss Ray Wilkins may be leaving The Den.

Bassett managed Wise during Wimbledon's rise to glory during the 1980s and later worked with the player at Leicester City before he joined The Lions.
