Reports in England claim that Chelsea legend John Terry wants to bring Ashley Cole with him if he gets the Derby County job.

Wayne Rooney has been placed in temporary charge of the struggling Championship club with a new takeover consortium set to get control of the Rams.

Former Chelsea captain Terry, currently assistant to Dean Smith at Aston Villa, is one of the front-runners to become Philip Cocu’s permanent replacement.

JT has made no secret of his desire to get into management and has been backed to succeed by his old team-mate and ex-Derby boss Frank Lampard should he land the job.

And the Daily Mirror claims Terry wants to make Cole, who finished his career with the Rams, part of his backroom team.

The report also states MK Dons assistant boss Luke Williams could also be on his radar as part of his staff.

The 39-year-old Cole played nine leagues matches for Derby before hanging up his boots in 2019.

He is now an academy coach at Chelsea and a TV pundit.
