Paul Clement has been appointed manager of Derby County on a three-year contract.
The 43-year-old, who served as assistant to Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, will take up his first full managerial role at the iPro Stadium.
Clement replaces Steve McClaren, who was sacked after a disappointing end to the Sky Bet Championship season that saw Derby miss out on the play-off places.

Speaking about his appointment, Clement said: ‘I’m incredibly excited to be joining Derby County as head coach and I am looking forward to emeting the players and getting started.
‘This is a massive club with fantastic facilities and a superb fan base who deserve success.
‘Having spoken with [club president] Sam Rush and the owners I firmly believe we share the same desires and ambitions and that is to once again make Derby County a Premier League club.’

Rush, who made the decision to remove McClaren following an end-of-season review by the club’s board, said: ‘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 is hugely respected, has exceptional relationships throughout football and tremendous coaching experienc eat 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.’
