Ashley Cole is expected to reunite with former Chelsea teammate Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge in a coaching capacity.
The 38-year-old, who won 13 major titles during the course of his career, announced his retirement from playing this past weekend, whilst working as a pundit on television.
Cole was covering Sunday's clash between the Blues and Leicester, which saw Lampard's winless as boss extend to three games after a disappointing 1-1 draw.
A return to west London could now be on the cards for Cole, who earned 107 caps for England during an illustrious international career, with the Daily Mail reporting that Chelsea are planning to offer him a return to the club as a coach.
