Former Chelsea defender, Ashley Cole, has expressed his disappointment at the lack of opportunities in England for managerial roles. He was appointed as head coach of Serie B club Cesena last month, marking his first full-time managerial role. Cole had previously worked as assistant manager at Everton, Birmingham City, and England but his experience was deemed insufficient for a head coach role at any English club. He credits Cesena for their decision to take a "massive leap of faith" in hiring him. Cole's first game in charge at Cesena was in mid-March before registering his first managerial win.
