Ashley Cole joins Everton’s coaching crew
Former Arsenal and Chelsea left back Ashley Cole has joined Everton as First-Team Coach.
Everton disclosed this in a statement on their website on Thursday, barely five days after Lampard was appointed as Everton’s head coach.
“Everton can firm the appointment of Ashley Cole as First-Team Coach,” the statement reads in part.
Cole will “further strengthens boss Frank Lampard’s talented backroom team of assistant managers Joe Edwards and Duncan Ferguson, First-Team Coach Paul Clement, First Team Coach and Head of Performance Chris Jones and Goalkeeping Coach Alan Kelly.”
“I’m delighted to add Cole into my backroom team,” Lampard said in the statement. “Everyone knows about his superb playing career and what he has achieved in the game.”
Cole and Lampard both played for England during their careers and were team-mates at Chelsea from 2006 to 2014.
Everton are 16th on the English Premier League log, just four points away from relegation zone.
The duo of Lampard and Cole would take charge at Goodison Park with the expectation of helping Everton move up the EPL log.
