'I've always wanted to manage a club with a big tradition and history like Derby County, so this is a huge opportunity,' Lampard told Derby's official club website.

'We want to build on the club's top six finish in the Championship last season, while at the same time bringing through some of the excellent youth and Academy talent we have at Pride Park.
