Derby have appointed Pat Lyons and Craig Short to work alongside head coach Darren Wassall.

The Rams have implemented several structural changes following the sacking of head coach Paul Clement on Monday.

Wassall, installed as Clement's replacement until the end of the season, will be assisted by both Lyons and Short who worked with him in his previous role of U21s coach.

"Pat Lyons and Craig Short, who were support staff under Wassall at U21 level, will work alongside the rest of the senior coaching staff for the closing months of the campaign," the club confirmed on the official website.

"Kevin Phillips (assistant coach) and Pascal Zuberbuhler (goalkeeping coach) will remain on the coaching team to provide support to Wassall."

Rory Delap succeeds Wassall as U21s coach for their remaining six games this season, Justin Walker will take charge of the U18s, while head of academy operations John Barton will oversee the day-to-day running of the academy.
