John Eustace confirms Derby County duo to stay
John Eustace has confirmed that first-team coach Matt Hamshaw and goalkeeping coach Andy Warrington will be part of his set-up at Derby County.
Eustace was confirmed as Paul Warne's successor at Pride Park today having signed a contract until the summer of 2028 after deciding to leave Blackburn Rovers.
Matt Gardiner and Keith Downing will join him on the backroom staff having made the same move from Ewood Park with their first game in charge being at QPR tomorrow night.

Hamshaw and Warrington, who were brought to the club by Warne in September 2022, will also be part of the staff. Hamshaw had said he had wanted to stay at Derby after being placed in charge on an interim basis after Warne's departure earlier this month.
And new Rams head coach Eustace confirmed he wants them to be part of the group until this season is over at least.
"They will be, yes," he said when asked if Hamshaw and Warrington would be part of the set-up. "I think Matt and Andy have done a fantastic job in the last couple of games to get a couple of points from two difficult games.
"I want them to be part of the group until the end of the season at least. I want good people and they are good people. It's important everyone has one focus which is to make sure we stay in the league and I know them two have. It will be great working with them."
