He began at Chelsea FC&#8217;s academy and also gained experience with Everton FC.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/d13b86e7-4d34-4bf8-8e1b-9addf0a8f5e8-1024x958.jpeg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"958\" alt=\"Ashley Cole Steps into Management as Cesena's New Head Coach\" class=\"wp-image-100891\" style=\"width: 777px; height: auto\"><\/figure>\n<p>In contrast, Chelsea, Cole&#8217;s former team, experienced a 1\u20130 defeat at home against Newcastle United on March 15, 2026. Anthony Gordon scored the only goal following an assist from Joe Willock.<\/p>\n<p>This loss led to significant reactions on social media, with many supporters expressing their frustrations toward Clearlake ownership after the unexpected defeat at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>Cesenna confirmed Cole&#8217;s appointment through an official statement, indicating that he has signed a contract until June 30, 2026, with an option to extend. Currently, the club sits eighth in Serie B, maintaining a spot in the promotion playoff race.<\/p>\n<p>During his distinguished playing career, Cole was regarded as one of the top left-backs of his era, winning three Premier League titles with Arsenal FC and Chelsea, as well as the UEFA Champions League. He amassed 107 caps for the England national team and had a stint in Italy with AS Roma from 2014 to 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-3007958047\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1458300956780583\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1458300956780583\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashley Cole, the former defender for the England national team, has been named the head coach of Cesena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":25893,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Ashley Cole Steps into Management as Cesena's New Head Coach","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ashley Cole Becomes Cesena&#039;s New Head Coach<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ashley Cole takes the helm as Cesena&#039;s new head coach, marking his transition from player to management.
