Ashley Cole breaks silence on Everton exit and makes Frank Lampard 'wrong time' claim

Former Everton first-team coach Ashley Cole has questioned whether Frank Lampard and his coaching staff were at Goodison Park "at the wrong time".

The former Arsenal and Chelsea full-back was installed alongside the iconic England midfielder following his appointment on Merseyside. Following stints with Derby County and at Stamford Bridge, the 44-year-old was tasked with leading the Blues out of the relegation fight.

Despite securing Premier League survival last season, Everton were immediately in the battle again this campaign and after 11 months with just 12 wins, Lampard was relieved of his duties at Goodison Park in January after no win in 10 across all competitions.
