Former Chelsea and Arsenal full-back Ashley Cole has linked up with former teammate Frank Lampard at Everton, the Premier League club announced on Friday
Cole who until his exit was Chelsea Academy coach, becomes Lampard assistant at Goodison Park.
He will work alongside assistant managers Joe Edwards and Duncan Ferguson under Lampard, who were appointed on Monday.
"I was thrilled when Frank asked me to join him at Everton," Cole said. "This is a brilliant opportunity with a fantastic club and I am coming here to work hard and try to help bring success to Everton."
"The chance to link up again with Frank was another huge draw. He is an excellent manager and leader. With the rest of the staff here, we have everything in place for what we want to achieve together."
Cole played alongside Lampard at Chelsea, where together they won one Premier League title, four FA Cups and the 2012 Champions League.
Lampard first assignment will be on Saturday against Brentford in the FA Cup fourth round, before heading to Newcastle on Tuesday in the Premier League.
