Derby County manager John Eustace has admitted uncertainty over his future at the club after the team suffered another defeat. The Rams' latest loss has increased pressure on the 44-year-old former Birmingham City boss, who took charge at Pride Park in February 2025.
Eustace guided Derby to a mid-table finish in the Championship last season but the club has struggled for consistency in the current campaign. The defeat leaves the East Midlands side hovering above the relegation zone, with supporters growing restless over the team's form and tactical approach.
When asked directly about his position after the match, Eustace declined to offer assurances, stating only that his focus remains on preparing the squad for the next fixture. The club's hierarchy has not publicly commented on the manager's status, though owner David Clowes has previously expressed backing for the coaching staff.
Derby's next Championship match comes against a fellow struggler, presenting a critical opportunity for Eustace to arrest the slide and potentially secure his position.
