Championship side Derby County have appointed England’s record goalscorer Wayne Rooney as their new manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
The 35-year-old, who had been in interim charge since Phillip Cocu was sacked on November 14, has now also officially retired as a player.
Rooney has overseen nine games so far, winning three and drawing four.
Liam Rosenior takes up the role of assistant manager, with former England boss Steve McClaren continuing as technical director and advisor to the board of directors.
