Analysis: McClaren 'one of England's outstanding coaches'published at 08:16 British Summer Time 13 October 2016
Pat Murphy
BBC Midlands football reporter
Steve McClaren was interviewed on Tuesday night just hours after Mel Morris spoke warmly to a business leaders' conference about the head coach he sacked almost 18 months ago after the club's season had imploded.
McClaren is recognised as one of England's outstanding coaches. It is his fourth spell at Derby.
His contract will run to summer 2018 and he's expected to be in the dug-out for the Leeds match this Saturday. The rest of the coaching staff will be kept on.
