Premier League strugglers Derby County on Wednesday named former Wigan coach Paul Jewell as their new manager.

The Midlands outfit sacked Billy Davies on Monday and chairman Adam Pearson moved swiftly to snatch the highly-regarded Jewell who had turned down an offer to move back into his old job at Wigan.

Jewell told a news conference that he was facing one of the toughest challenges of his career to keep Derby in the top flight. They are currently bottom of the league.

"It's going to be very difficult but I'm not here to wave the white flag. We're not adrift."

Jewell has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Pride Park and insists although the appointment has been a speedy one he is ready to dig in for a long haul with the club following six months out of the game. - Sapa-AFP
