Paul Warne is the new Head Coach of Derby County.

He leaves Championship side Rotherham United after guiding them to promotion last season.

Liam Rosenior has been replaced after being interim manager.

A club statement said:

"On behalf of everyone at Pride Park Stadium, we would like to thank Liam for all his efforts during an incredibly difficult period and in helping to stabilise the club under new ownership.

"There can be no doubting Liam’s hard work and dedication and he undoubtedly has a huge future in management. At this time, however, we believe the time is right to make a transition in terms of leadership and progress on the pitch."

Assistant Head Coach Richie Barker, First Team Coach Matt Hamshaw and First Team Goalkeeper Coach Andy Warrington have also left the Championship side to join the Rams.
