Former Chelsea midfielder Frank lampard is taking over as manager of second-division club Derby.
The English team says the 39-year-old lampard has signed a three-year contract.
The former England international says "I know it won't be easy - managing a football team never is - but I'm really looking forward to the challenge ahead."
In his time at Chelsea from 2001-14, lampard became the club's record scorer with 211 goals, made 649 appearances and was the heartbeat of teams that won three Premier league titles, four FA Cups and the Champions league in 2012.
lampard started out at West Ham before finishing his career with short stints at Manchester City and then New York City FC in Major league Soccer before retiring last year.
Everton hires Marco silva
liverpool: Everton has given Marco Silva his third managerial job in the Premier league.
The former Hull and Watford coach succeeds Sam Allardyce, who left Goodison Park after an unpopular six-month reign.
Everton tried to hire Silva following the firing of Ronald Koeman in October but Watford rebuffed their advances for the Portuguese coach. Watford then dismissed the 40-year-old Silva only two months later, citing Everton's approach as the reason for a slump in form.
Silva rose to prominence with Estoril in Portugal before one-season spells with Sporting and then Greek club Olympiakos.
Silva moved to England in January 2017 with Hull and, although he was unable to prevent the team's relegation from the Premier league, his impact and style of play earned him another chance at Watford.
