Manchester City development coach Ben Wilkinson is poised to bolster Derby County's coaching staff, joining as part of John Eustace's team, according to BBC Radio Derby. Wilkinson, who is 39, has been at the helm of City's under-21 squad since Brian Barry-Murphy departed to manage Cardiff City in July 2025. His playing career saw him at clubs like Hull City, York City, and Boston United before transitioning to a coaching role at Sheffield Wednesday's academy. In 2018, Wilkinson made a move to Manchester City, where he successfully led the under-18 team to a Premier League National title in his debut season. Notably, he is the son of Howard Wilkinson, a former caretaker manager for England and a notable figure at Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United.
