Paul Jewell is no stranger to the Premier League as he was in charge of Wigan and now wierdly enough he has chosen to coach a club that looks to have a worst fate than Wigan and are rooted at the bottom of the League - Derby County.
The club, bottom of the Premier League with only six points from 14 games, presented Jewell at a news conference at their Pride Park ground and said he had signed a 3-1/2-year contract.
The 43-year-old resigned as Wigan Athletic manager in May after securing their Premier League survival on the last day of last season.
Davies left on Monday, along with nine of the backroom staff, after 18 months in charge. Derby have conceded 33 goals and scored only five in the league this season, with none since September.
Jewell’s first game in charge will be at Sunderland on Sunday.
Alex McLeish has joined Birmingham City as their new manager just one day after resigning as Scotland coach, looks like Sir Alex will have yet another Scotland buddy in the league.
The 48-year-old, who narrowly missed out on leading the Scots to next year’s European championship finals, replaces Steve Bruce who has moved to Wigan Athletic.
