Frank Lampard has been announced as the new Derby County Manager in his first Managerial position.
The Championship side – who once had Taribo West on their books – appointed the former England international and Chelsea midfielder on a three-year deal.
Derby made the announcement on Thursday and The Rams Executive Chairman, Mel Morris, said: “I’m delighted to have someone of Frank’s calibre as our new manager.
In his first statement as Manager, Lampard said: “I’ve always wanted to manage a club with a big tradition and history like Derby County, so this is a huge opportunity. I have spent considerable time discussing the role and the club’s objectives with the Chairman and board members.
“We want to build on the club’s top six finish in the Championship last season, while at the same time bringing through some of the excellent youth and Academy talent we have at Pride Park.”
