Former left-back signs until June with option to stay on
Cole has been coach at Chelsea, Everton and Derby
Ashley Cole has been appointed as the head coach of the Serie B side Cesena. It is a first management role for the former Arsenal, Chelsea and England full-back, who has been developing as a coach since retiring from playing in 2019.
Cole’s positions have included working with Frank Lampard at Derby, Chelsea and Everton, with Wayne Rooney at Birmingham, and with England and the Football Association.
Now the 45-year-old has made an unexpected move to Italy’s second tier, taking over at Cesena, who are eighth in the table and sacked Michele Mignani on Saturday.
