Derby County rule out Steve McClaren exit

Derby County chief executive Sam Rush rules Steve McClaren out of the running for the vacant Newcastle United manager's position.

Derby County have ruled out any prospect of Steve McClaren leaving to become manager of Newcastle United.

The former England coach has been linked with the vacancy since the departure of Alan Pardew from the role.

However, Rams chief executive Sam Rush has moved quickly to dismiss any reports of the club losing their boss.

Rush told BBC Sport: "There is no question whatsoever of him leaving.

"He is one of the highest-performing managers in English football, so he is going to be linked and admired by others. But we have had no approaches.

"I'm aware that there is speculation about Steve at the moment but he has completely dismissed it. His future is with us.

Rush's comments come after McClaren distanced himself from rumours about the St James' Park position by insisting that he has a job to do with County.
