ASHLEY COLE is ready to leave his academy role at Chelsea to join Frank Lampard's backroom staff at Everton alongside Tim Cahill.
The former Blues and England left-back is currently coaching at academy level but is ready to take the next step up.
According to the Echo, Cole will join Paul Clement, Joe Edwards and Chris Jones as a part of Lampard's backroom staff.
The senior Everton role could help put Cole on track for a future role in management.
Last year, Cole expressed his desire to land a job.
He said: "It's something I definitely want to get into. Hopefully in a few years I can go into a managerial role."
Toffees club legend Cahill is also set for a 'part-time role' at the club after impressing owner Farhad Moshiri with his football knowledge.
The report states that Cahill assisted Everton in their manager search which saw Lampard be appointed.
