Frank Lampard secures Jody Morris as assistant manager at Derby County

New Derby County boss Frank Lampard has recruited former Chelsea youth coach Jody Morris as his assistant.

Morris and Lampard were previously team-mates for England at youth level and also during their playing days at Chelsea.

Morris made over 170 appearances for the Blues and was with the club in a coaching capacity since 2013. He previously worked as Under-21 manager before taking over the Under-18 side.

He managed to lead the Blues to FA Youth Cup success as well as the Under-18 Premier League title four times during the past four years and also added the national league title to his impressive CV last term.
