Championship Betting: Derby 11/2 for promotion after hiring Cocu to replace Lampard

Derby County have moved quickly to appoint Phillip Cocu as Frank Lampard’s replacement following his move to Chelsea.

The formers Blues midfielder ended a summer of rumours by completing his return to Stamford Bridge after just one year at Pride Park, where he led the Rams to the Championship play-off final before losing out to Aston Villa.

Cocu is the man charged with taking Derby one step further and bet365 are an industry-best 11/2 (6.50) that the Dutchman is able to achieve that in his first season in the East Midlands.
