Wayne Rooney made his debut as a trainer at Derby in 2020-22. The United legend fought hard to collect points, which the club was later dragged for messing up in the economy. Rooney refused to leave the club, and is remembered by Derby supporters for his fight-to-last-end mentality. The proud club disappeared into League One. In the 2023/24 season, Paul Warne led the club back into the next top division. On Friday, the club gave a “thank you job” pat on the back and fired the successful coach from last season.
Warne and Derby have struggled in the Championship with 22nd place and below the relegation line. Seven losses in the last few games have been tough, at the same time it is only two points up on Hull over the line. It will not be Warne who will manoeuvre the Derby, ban Hull and to safety.
“It is with regret that Derby County have decided to release Paul Warne from his position. While Paul and his staff helped deliver on the club’s goal of returning to the Championship last season, recent results call for a change, writes the Derby management on the club’s website.
