Ashley Cole interviewed for first EFL job but faces competition from Championship coach

Cole interviewed for the Bromley manager role after the club sacked Woodman; he faces competition from Blackburn assistant Dodds for the position.

Bromley have sacked manager Andy Woodman with the club 22nd in League Two, and have interviewed Chelsea and England legend Ashley Cole for the role. Cole, 45, is competing with Blackburn assistant manager Mike Dodds for the position. This would be Cole's first managerial job in England, though he had an eight-game spell in charge of Italian Serie B side Cesena last season. Since retiring as a player, Cole has held coaching roles at Derby, Chelsea, Everton and Birmingham, and has been part of the England Under-21s and senior coaching staff.
