The announcement was confirmed moments ago in an emergency press briefing held at Pride Park Stadium, where Eustace addressed the media with visible emotion. According to sources close to the club, the decision comes amid mounting pressure following a challenging run of results and internal restructuring discussions behind the scenes.
In his statement, Eustace expressed gratitude to the players, staff, and supporters who stood by him during his tenure.
โIt has been an honour to lead this historic football club. After careful reflection and conversations with my family, I believe this is the right time to step aside and allow the club to move forward in a new direction,โ he said.
Eustace, who took charge with high expectations and the ambition to restore Derby Countyโs competitive edge, worked tirelessly to stabilize the squad and rebuild morale. While there were moments of promise, inconsistency on the pitch and strategic disagreements at executive level reportedly contributed to his decision.
Club officials are yet to confirm who will take over on an interim basis, but insiders suggest that an internal appointment could be announced within the next 24 hours.
Fans have already begun reacting across social media platforms, with many expressing shock and disappointment at the sudden nature of the resignation. Others have thanked Eustace for his commitment during a transitional period for the club.
Derby County now faces a crucial period as the board begins the search for a new manager capable of steering the Rams back toward promotion contention. Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
