Blackburn boss John Eustace admits he wants Derby job after official approach John Eustace wants permission from Blackburn to speak to Derby after the Rams triggered his £500,000 compensation clause.
“I’ve come to the club to help rebuild it and help us push up the league and I’ve been very happy here,” said Eustace, who has turned Blackburn into promotion contenders since succeeding Jon Dahl Tomasson a year ago.
Eustace, 45, is understood to be interested and wants to discuss their approach with Blackburn CEO Steve Waggott and COO Suhail Shaikh.
Derby have made an official approach to Blackburn and they have identified the former Rams defender as their top choice to succeed the sacked Paul Warne.
I’d be disappointed if they didn’t.” Former Birmingham manager Eustace is Midlands based and returning to Derby, where he ended his career in 2015, would be much closer to his home.
