Chelsea hero reveals plans to become a manager and follow in former team-mate Frank Lampard's footsteps

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has revealed that he would like to follow in Frank Lampard's footsteps by becoming a manager.

Cole has mainly worked as a pundit for TNT Sports since retiring from playing but is now considering other options.

The ex-England international previously worked with Brentford's academy and would welcome a venture into first-team management in the future.

Cole told talkSPORT: 'Yeah, absolutely. I'm coaching a little bit. I was at Brentford last year with the young lads, just keeping my eye in and coaching.

'I'm going to start again soon when things settle down.
