Harris said losing Montenegro international Sarkic was a "moment of despair" for everyone associated with Millwall.
The Montenegro Football Association said the 26-year-old died suddenly on Saturday morning, with local media saying he collapsed in his apartment in Budva in Montenegro.Speaking to BBC Radio London on Wednesday, he said he would continue to instil the values into his players that are the club's "biggest strength" to help get them through the difficult time.
Sarkic, who was born in Grimsby, spent time in the academies of Anderlecht, in Belgium, and Aston Villa. He moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020 and had loan spells at Shrewsbury Town, Birmingham City and Stoke City before joining the Lions last summer.How much impact can televised political debates have?'Steely Scotland still standing after coming out swinging'Fleeing Kabul, chasing gold - the story of a refugee OlympianPremier League fixtures - find out your club's schedule
