Former midfielder Lampard and new Derby County boss has vowed to use the clubs work ethics to take them to the next club in his first job as their manager.
The 39 year old boss said that, “This is a strong squad but there will be changes. I watched Derby last season. To me they looked willing to work hard and gave everything to try to get this club up.
He further added, “That’s what we need again. I will tweak it and make that extra step.”
Ex-England regular Lampard, who did a photocall at an empty, floodlit Pride Park, explained his joy at being back in the game.
He said: “I loved my career as a player and all of a sudden I realised I want to be a manager.
