According to the Rotherham Advertiser, Rotherham United interviewed Leam Richardson and Mark Warburton this week, but the latter will not be joining.
Rotherham United’s search for a new manager has been ongoing for some time. Matt Taylor was fired following the Millers’ humiliation at the hands of Watford and has since taken management at League One club Bristol Rovers.
Many names have been linked to the empty position at the AESSEAL New York Stadium, but the club’s attempts have so far proved futile.
Now, a fresh update on the hunt for Taylor’s permanent replacement has emerged from the Rotherham Advertiser. They report that interviews with Leam Richardson and Mark Warburton have both taken place this week, but the latter will not be joining.
It is not known whether he was offered the job and turned it down, or if Rotherham United opted against him as an option.
Richardson, meanwhile, remains an option and it remains to be seen if recently-sacked bosses Michael Duff and Tony Mowbray come under consideration. Gary Rowett is said to have ruled himself out of the running, while Steve Evans doesn’t have the unanimous support of the Rotherham United hierarchy.

The search continues.
Rotherham United are in the fight for championship survival, and getting a new boss sooner rather than later is key. They have spoken to a selection of candidates now, but after Nathan Jones rejected an offer, it feels like they’re no closer to getting their new boss through the door.

The swift appointment of a new manager would have given some much-needed clarity for the playing and coaching staff in South Yorkshire. The supporters will want the same too.
Time will tell if Richardson remains in contention, but Warburton would have been a decent option. He’s not in the running for the job, though, so it remains to be seen who becomes the top target for Rotherham United after Jones’ rejection.
