Jewell set for Rams post - Report

Derby have called a press conference for 9.30am, with Paul Jewell reportedly set to be unveiled as their new manager.

The Rams parted company with Billy Davies on Monday and chairman Adam Pearson has apparently wasted no time in finding a replacement.

Jewell, who quit Wigan after securing their Premier League safety on the final day of last season, emerged as Derby's prime target on Tuesday.

Since leaving the JJB he has turned down an approach from the Republic of Ireland and also rejected the chance to return to the Latics after Chris Hutchings was sacked, while he was linked with Bolton and Birmingham.
