Derby County Football Club have confirmed Paul Warne has been appointed as the club's new head coach.
Warne joins from Championship side Rotherham, where he won three promotions in almost 300 games as manager, as well as the Papa Johns Trophy last season.
He takes over from caretaker boss Liam Rosenior and will oversee the Rams' match against Cambridge United a week on Saturday.
Derby currently sit seventh in the third tier of English football, one place outside the play-offs.
A statement on DCFC's website says:
"As was made clear in the summer, the board intended to take a period of time evaluating every aspect of the club and having done that, we believe Paul’s track record of success at this level fits perfectly into our long-term strategy."
