After saving Millwall from relegation last season Kenny Jackett is now managing his team at the opposite end of the League 1 table as he looks to build on an impressive record of promotions he has been part of during his 12 years of management.

In stints as assistant manager and manager of Watford, assistant at Queens Park Rangers and manager of Swansea City, the 46 year-old former Watford and Wales defender has helped secure four promotions and been involved in two runs to Play-Off finals.

Another crack at promotion could be in the offing after Millwall's fine start to the new campaign. Sunday's 2-1 win at Swindon, their fifth successive victory, took them up to fourth in the table and only one point behind joint leaders Oldham and Scunthorpe.

It's a totally different situation to the one that Jackett stepped into when he took over at The New Den last November, the Lions at the time lying third from bottom of the table and facing a long battle to avoid the drop.

Yet he left the comparative safety of managing Premiership club Manchester City's reserve team to join Millwall. Why? "It wasn't a difficult decision," insists Jackett. "I'd been a manager before and I wanted to be a manager again - it was that simple.

"Yes, Millwall were in trouble, but you rarely get offered a job with a club in a great situation - and if you do then that brings its own pressure because you have to keep things going well if the club is in a good position.

"When you inherit a situation like the one I had at Millwall the job is obviously to improve things, and it wasn't easy. Injuries had already been a problem and it stayed that way right through the season, so in the circumstances we did well to stay up."

A 17th place finish represented mission accomplished for Jackett, but with a new campaign has come a new mission as the manager sets out with the aim of helping the Lions regain the Championship place they lost in 2006.

"We've had a promising start to the season," he says, "and it's helped players and supporters to believe we can continue to have a good season. I've not set targets, but I have enjoyed a few promotions in my time and I'd love to add to the list with Millwall."
