Former Super Eagles invitee, Calrton Okorie Cole has been added to the coaching crew on one of his former clubs, West Ham United.
Sports247.ng gathered that the former striker, who made top marks with Chelsea and was invited for some Eagles’ international friendlies, has been given a job in The Hammers’ academy coaching staff.
The London club’s under-18 team manager, Jack Collison said he is happy to welcome Cole back to West Ham in a new role of mentoring the club’s scholars and schoolboys.
Collison said: “Carlton has come back to the club and although he is fairly fresh in terms of his coaching, one thing you cannot teach is the years of experience he has of playing at the top level.
“To have his input and help in and around a few of our individuals will be massive.
“Coley was always such a massive character in the changing room and straight away he has brought in that positivity and that banter.
“Hopefully the boys will enjoy being around Coley, build relationships with him and his positive influence and experience will rub off on them.”
