Everton manager Frank Lampard has appointed Ashley Cole as the head coach of the first team. Cole leaves the role of coach at the Chelsea academy to join the backroom staff that already includes Joe Edwards, Duncan Ferguson, Paul Clement, Chris Jones, and Alan Kelly. He was a teammate of Lampard with Chelsea and England and also played under him at Derby.
“I’m delighted to add Ashley to my backroom team. Everyone knows about his superb playing career and what he has achieved in the game,” Everton manager Frank Lampard said. “He is now a well-respected coach which has been recognized by his work with England U21s. He’ll bring a wealth of enthusiasm, game-play experience and is a very good young coach who adds strength to our coaching staff.”
I was thrilled when Frank asked me to join him at Everton. This is a brilliant opportunity with a fantastic club and I am coming here to work hard and try to help bring success to Everton,” Cole said. “The chance to link up again with Frank was another huge draw. He is an excellent manager and leader. With the rest of the staff here, we have everything in place for what we want to achieve together.”
