Darren Moore has emerged as one of the front runners for the potentially vacant Derby County job.

The Rams recently announced that they have given Frank Lampard permission to speak to Chelsea after Sarri left the club to join Juventus.

Currently Garry Monk and Darren Moore are on the top of Derby's list and Derek McInnes and John Eustace have also been mentioned, according to the Daily Mail.

Moore was sacked in March by West Brom due to poor home form, despite being placed comfortably in the play-offs.

Moore, who only has experience of managing while at West Brom, used to be a Derby County player - so he has an affiliation with the club.

Here are 2 pros and 2 cons to appointing the 45-year-old.

Pros

Hungry to prove himself

After Darren Moore was sacked at West Brom, he will be more hungry than ever to try and prove himself as a manager.

Recently Moore told The Coaches Voice that he felt as if he did nothing wrong at West Brom, but after only having one job on his CV, will want to get back into management as soon as possible.

Moore seemed to impress at his short time managing at West Brom.

In the previous interview with The Coaches Voice, Moore claims that having "no regrets" is something which was drummed into him as a child, and uses his experience of leaving Birmingham for Torquay for a one-week trial as a 16-year-old as a reference. He says that his Dad told him that whether he comes back in one-week or 10-years, make sure you come back with no regrets - something which he says has stuck with him forever since, after he picked up a two-year deal with the Gulls.

With the previous in mind, it does not seem like the sacking at West Brom will make him doubt his coaching ability, nor will it make him change his methods. This approach could prove fruitful when following a big personality such as Lampard.

His recruitment was good

Although Moore wasn't given the chance to take West Brom up, he did build a squad which was capable of promotion, despite the Baggies getting comfortably relegated the season prior.

He did especially well in the loan market, picking up players such as Gayle, Barnes, Murphy and Holgate which gave them one of the strongest squads in the division. Sam Johnstone was also a great buy for the club.

With Derby also having a lot of loan players leaving this summer, it will be important that they utilise that market well next season.

Cons

Lacking experience

Moore is still only 45-years-old and has only had one chance of being a manager. This can be limiting for him as he simply hasn't had as much trial and error as other coaches and he will still be working out his own preferred methods.

This will be the first time he has to bounce back as a coach and therefore the pressure will be higher. Managing in football is an unforgiving industry, and if all goes wrong at Derby then people will be quick to forget the good work he did in West Bromwich.

A different environment

While Moore has previously played at Pride Park, he was pretty much part of the furniture at The Hawthorns after being joining as a coach at the club after his retirement in 2012.

It would have been much easier to earn the respect of his peers and stamp his authority at a club where he is already very well known, so moving to a new club will throw up a different test.
