Frank Lampard 'wants to bring former Chelsea team-mate Ashley Cole into his coaching set-up at Everton' after working with his close friend at Derby as he finalises his backroom staff ahead of his official unveilling

Frank Lampard is considering Ashley Cole for a role in his coaching set-up ahead of his official unveilling as Everton boss, according to reports.

Lampard and Cole are close friends and former team-mates at Chelsea - with the legendary midfielder previously signing the left-back when he was at Derby County - and the defender later joining his backroom staff at Pride Park.

When Lampard became Chelsea boss in 2019, Cole followed him and began working with his old side's academy before becoming Lee Carlsey's assistant manager with the England Under-21s.
