John Terry will look to make former Chelsea and England team-mate Ashley Cole part of his management team if he is given the job at Derby, according to reports.
The Rams are looking for a new head coach after sacking Phillip Cocu in November with Terry one of the front-runners alongside current interim boss Wayne Rooney.
As reported by Sportsmail, there are those close to Sheik Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan - near to completing a £60million takeover of the club - who believe Terry would be able to revive Derby's fortunes.
