Steve McClaren leaving Derby County

Steve McClaren is leaving Derby County.

The Sun says McClaren is set to become Derby's first big-name casualty as the club begins its major financial cutbacks after entering administration.

The former England and Rams manager was employed as an advisor and technical director at the club, but was not hired on a permanent basis.

As such, it is straightforward for Derby to let go of McClaren, who only took on the role in November last year. He had two spells as manager at Pride Park between 2013 and 2015, and then again in 2017.

Former Newcastle manager McClaren, 60, has prospective job options ahead with either FIFA or UEFA in a 'think-tank' capacity.
