Ashley Cole's first words after becoming a coach with 'fantastic' Everton

Ashley Cole describes coming to Everton as “a brilliant opportunity with a fantastic club” after being confirmed as a first-team coach under new manager Frank Lampard.

The former England left-back joins Everton from Chelsea’s academy and further strengthens Lampard’s 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.

Cole became a coach at Derby County after finishing his glittering playing career at the Rams, before following former Chelsea and England teammate Lampard to Stamford Bridge where he became an academy coach in October 2019.
