Promotion-chasing Rovers are searching for new head coach as owners’ lack of investment likely fuels Eustace’s decision to join Derby
The biggest question surrounding John Eustace’s departure from promotion-chasing Blackburn to struggling Derby is: why?
The manager’s tenure at Rovers was indisputably a success. Parachuted in after the messy exit of Jon Dahl Tomasson almost exactly one year ago, Eustace guided Blackburn to safety and this season the team, despite being tipped as relegation candidates, have been in the top six for much of the time. After Wednesday’s 2-0 win at West Brom – without Eustace – Rovers are fifth with 14 games remaining. A return to the Premier League after 13 years remains a tantalising prospect.
