Frank Lampard hasn’t yet been announced as Chelsea’s new manager but it seems just a matter of time before that happens.
That gives Derby County the task of finding themselves a new coach, and Phillip Cocu is believed to be the chosen one.
In their Monday edition, De Telegraaf look at the situation and make it very clear the 48 year old is uncertain about whether it’s the right opportunity for him.
After a tough time at Fenerbahce, which damaged the reputation he’d built whist with PSV, the Dutch newspaper explains Cocu doesn’t want to gamble and needs assurances he’d have the backing to be successful.
A major worry is how much of the squad last season was made up of loan players, and how that hole is going to be filled this summer.
Finances are also thought to be an issue, with it being stated Derby ‘doesn’t have much money’.
Nevertheless, talks have already taken place and the club want to continue them this week.
