Lampard inspiring English coaches as well as Chelsea youth - Cole

The Blues boss is motivating the next generation of talent on and off the pitch, according to his former team-mate

Frank Lampard has promoted several academy graduates ahead of the new season, but Carlton Cole thinks that he is also inspiring English coaches now that he has been hired at former club Chelsea.

Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Reece James have all been promoted to the first team as Lampard deals with a transfer ban next season and implements a new vision at Stamford Bridge involving players from Cobham Training Centre.

He is also the only English manager at a top-six club and he is using a predominantly English coaching staff including club men like Jody Morris, Joe Edwards and Eddie Newton.
