Derby County chief executive Sam Rush was over the moon after unveiling Paul Clement as the club's new manager.

The former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain assistant has replaced Steve McClaren at the iPro Stadium after finishing up as Carlo Ancelotti's right-hand man at Real Madrid and his arrival on a three-year deal has Rush extremely excited.

"Paul Clement is one of the most in-demand coaches in world football and I am delighted that he has agreed to join Derby County as our new head coach," he told the club's official website.

"He is hugely respected, has exceptional relationships throughout football and tremendous coaching experience at some of the very best clubs in Europe.

"He is the perfect appointment at the next stage of Derby County's development and we are looking forward to the coming season with a great deal of optimism."
