Derby County are one of the more traditional clubs in English football history and have enjoyed some very positive times.

The Rams won the league title in the 1970s under Brian Clough.

Similar to their bitter rivals Nottingham Forest, Derby have also enjoyed watching some of the best managers to grace the English game, including some expert tacticians.

Dave McKay and Clough both oversaw golden periods in their respective tenures, and the former is regarded as the best manager in Derby’s history.

Recent decades haven’t been quite as glamorous for Derby, who have spent the majority of their time in the second tier of English football.

They have had a couple of promotions under the stewardship of top managers, but there have also been some poor coaches that have took the dugout at Pride Park.

Here, we look at the THREE worst managers in Derby’s history.

Agree, Rams fans? Let us know below.

Billy Davies led Derby County to the Premier League in 2007 but departed in November, meaning that ex-Wigan manager Paul Jewell took over.

It wasn’t to be for Jewell at Derby, who couldn’t steady the ship and Derby were relegated with the lowest ever points tally in Premier League history.

Nigel Pearson managed the Rams for 14 games in 2016 and managed just three wins in that time.

The Rams had a good squad and looked like they could be on for promotion, but the season got off to an awful start under Pearson, who was replaced by Steve McClaren a couple of weeks later.

Terry Westley was the manager for half a season following Phil Brown’s departure in 2006.

In his time he struggled to have a massive impact on the Rams, departing before Davies arrived and delivered promotion.
