Following Southgate’s resignation as England national team manager, Casley became the interim successor. Today, according to British media reports, former England star Ashley Cole has also joined the coaching team as Casley’s assistant coach.
Ashley Cole is one of only nine players to have represented the England national team for over 100 matches. This is his first time joining the England national team as a coach. Cole previously worked with Casley on the England U21 national team, where they won the 2023 U21 European Championship together.
Ashley Cole previously served as head coach of Chelsea’s U15 youth team, and he collaborated with Lampard twice at Everton and Chelsea’s senior teams. In October 2023, Birmingham officially announced that Cole would be Rooney’s assistant coach. In addition to Cole, Lescott and Dettmer, who previously worked with Casley on the U21 England national team, have also been selected for the England interim coaching team.
England will play in the Nations League on September 8, 2024, with the new coaching team making their debut against Ireland.
