Former Premier League midfielder Shaun Derry joined Wolves as first-team coach in August 2023 after spending four years in the backroom team at Crystal Palace.

Derry had previously represented the Eagles for six years during two spells as a player, where he helped the club back to the top-flight in 2004 via the First Division play-offs.

With the likes of Sheffield United, Portsmouth, Leeds United and Queens Park Rangers – where he won the 2010/11 Championship title – also among the former clubs on his CV, the 45-year-old has a wealth of experience as both a player and coach.

Once his 18-year professional playing career came to a close in 2013, Derry was appointed manager at Notts County where he guided the Magpies to League One safety despite the team looking destined for relegation upon his arrival.

Following spells as head coach at Cambridge United and assistant under Karl Robinson at Oxford United, Derry returned to Selhurst Park in 2019 as professional development coach in Palace’s academy.

He was then promoted to first-team coach under Patrick Vieira following the Frenchman’s appointment at the start of the 2022/23 Premier League season, working under both Vieira and Roy Hodgson during that campaign.
