Day Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Darren Wassall has confirmed who will be joining him on Derby County’s first-team coaching staff. Wassall will take charge of his first game against MK Dons at the iPro Stadium on Saturday (13th February, 3pm) after being appointed as Head Coach until the end of the season on Monday evening. Pat Lyons and Craig Short, who were support staff under Wassall at Under 21 level, will work alongside the rest of the senior coaching staff for the closing months of the campaign. Kevin Phillips (Assistant Coach) and Pascal Zuberbuhler (Goalkeeping Coach) will remain on the coaching team to provide support to Wassall. As a result, Rory Delap will step up to oversee the running of Derby’s Under 21s for their remaining six games of the Barclays Under 21 Premier League - Division 2 campaign, with Justin Walker in charge of the Under 18s. The day-to-day running of the Academy, as a result of Wassall assuming first-team affairs, will be managed by Head of Academy Operations John Barton until the end of the campaign. http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/first-team-coaching-staff-confirmed-2948227.aspx#koURrVKmYkC2MjyV.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Fair enough. I hope the U21s still get promoted, I know it doesn't matter in the grand scheme for most fans but the lads really deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 We've got the ability, hopefully Wassall and co can inspire some confidence and a bit of good feeling. Confidence carried us along way with Mac, when it wasnt there we struggled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much experience there When I read MM's interview with Steve Nicholson yesterday I got the same impression. This is really happening. The interview emphasized that MM thought PC was working to his own plan and his own timeline... to get DCFC first team promoted this year. Whereas PC's plan seems much more about the plan for growing a long term sustainable club. i.e. a business plan which says get the business fundamentals right and the success will follow naturally. It makes sense as the sort of plan a successful business man would come up with. Will it actually work in the crazy world of football though??

YouRams Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Recent comments from a Brendan Rodgers interview fits in with Wassall till the end of the season. What's next for Brendan Rodgers? “Well I needed a bit of time out away from football, only for the fact that three-and-a-half years under such scrutiny was really intense. That time out has allowed me to recharge and give time to my family, which is very difficult when you are in football. "After the Christmas period, I really started to watch games again, including my son who is at Swindon. Spending time with family is very important to me. I am enjoying doing some TV work and spekaing with players. "I will go between now and the end of the season to some clubs and take in some fresh ideas and if the right opportunity comes along in the summer I would really love the opportunity to get back in the game.” Do you see yourself as a Premier League manager or would you consider coaching abroad “I am open. It is where I feel I can go in and make a difference: a job that will excite me. It doesn't have to necessarily be at a top club. It can be at home or abroad. It is just about finding the right opportunity, one that will excite me to go in and somewhere I can help make better.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be better as a coach, well I am hoping he is. His record is about as good as Clements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
