Ashley Cole has announced he's joining Chelsea's coaching staff.

The former Blues defender was a guest at the Europa League draw in Monaco where he revealed his next move.

He said: "I've worked under some great managers, took a lot from them so I will go back to Chelsea and work with their under-15s and see where it goes from there."

Cole, 38, put an end to his trophy-laden 20-year career live on TV while working as a pundit for Sky Sports.

After coming through the youth ranks at Arsenal, he made a controversial switch to Chelsea in 2006 before finishing his career with spells at Roma, LA Galaxy and finally Derby at the end of last season.
