Everton: Meet Frank Lampard’s backroom staff and roles they carry out

Ashley Cole is also rumoured to join Frank Lampard’s backroom staff at Everton

Alan Kelly – Goalkeeping coach

Alan Kelly also stays on as goalkeeping coach which is good news for Everton’s hopes of keeping Jordan Pickford. England’s number one has been in good form for the past year and this has been credited to Kelly working with Pickford more closely and mentally helping get his game back on track.

The backroom staff lined up for a group picture before training today:

This may not be the end of the backroom team however as Ashley Cole has been linked with a move to join Lampard at Everton. The ex England international has been helping Chelsea at youth level coaching and has been brought in by Lee Carsley as an England under 21 coach recently. While Cole will probably continue his England under 21 role, Lampard is pretty confident of getting Cole to join him at Finch Farm as he offers him a more first team role, probably as defensive coach.

With Everton having two young and new full back’s in Nathan Patterson and Vitaliy Mykolenko, Cole coming in would offer them valuable experience from one of the best full back’s to have played the game in the last twenty years.

Much work needs to be done by Everton’s backroom team with a heavy week of games coming up. Brentford at home in the FA Cup 4th Round on Saturday, then a vital league trip to the biggest spenders of the transfer window Newcastle on Tuesday night before another vital league game at home to Leeds a week on Saturday.

However, there is much confidence in the team Lampard has assembled with a great blend of experience and coaches who have been in very successful setups.
