Frank Lampard is set to be confirmed new manager of Derby County today.

The Daily Mail says the 39-year-old will be assisted at Pride Park by Chelsea Under 18s coach Jody Morris.

Lampard will be tasked with keeping the Championship side in the hunt for promotion, while shaping a veteran squad on a budget.

Derby finished sixth in the season just gone, but lost to Fulham in the play-off semi-finals and work is needed on a team populated by players in their thirties.

Replacing Gary Rowett, who left to join Stoke nine days ago, will see Lampard take his first step into management.
