"When you have good staff, they will be courted by other clubs," Clark added.

"Derek felt joining a club in the Championship and teaming up with Sven-Goran Eriksson again was a good move.

"I am disappointed but we move on and we wish Derek all the best."

Fazackerley has a wealth of coaching and scouting experience, and lists Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City among his former clubs

He was also part of then England manager Kevin Keegan's coaching team during the Euro 2000 campaign.
