The Championship side parted ways with Matt Taylor last week after a slow start to the campaign, with the side in the relegation zone and four points from safety.

Assistant boss Wayne Carlisle and coaches Scott Brown and Dan Green have taken temporary control, with a home fixture against high-flying Leeds United up next this Friday, November 24, following the international break.

Championship sponsors SkyBet have listed Richardson at 5/1, with ex-Millers boss Steve Evans the favourite, although Rotherham Advertiser have reported that the club are ‘now more focused on other potential targets.’
