Derby County reveal new manager to replace Frank Lampard

Derby have appointed former Holland international Phillip Cocu as Frank Lampard's managerial successor at Pride Park.

Cocu, 48, has signed a four-year contract and will be joined by assistant manager Chris Van Der Weerden and specialist first-team coach Twan Scheepers. Derby's head goalkeeping coach Shay Given will remain as part of the new-look coaching team.

"I am pleased and honoured to confirm that Derby County will be my new club and can't wait to meet with the team and the fans to start this adventure together," Cocu told the official club website.

Derby County owner Mel Morris said: “We are delighted to welcome Phillip Cocu as our new manager.

“We are continuing to develop our philosophy at Derby County and from the first conversation with Phillip, and his team, it was very clear they share similar views."
