Derby County have moved to confirm reports that they are currently in talks with Harry Redknapp over an advisory role.
Earlier on Monday, reports emerged that Redknapp was negotiating with the Rams about becoming involved at the club as director of football, and the Championship side have formally acknowledged that discussions are taking place.
A club statement read: "Derby County can confirm that discussions have been held with Harry Redknapp regarding the possibility of working in an advisory role until the end of the season.
"This would potentially provide support to Darren Wassall and the rest of the coaching team."
Derby currently sit in fifth place in the Championship, but under Wassall, they have recorded just eight points from seven fixtures.
Redknapp's last role in football came at Queens Park Rangers before he left Loftus Road in February 2015.
