Cheryl Cole 'To Become Music Manager'

Cheryl Cole will reportedly try her hand at managing up-and-coming musical acts.

Not content with her time in Girls Aloud, as a judge on X Factor or as a forthcoming solo artist, it's claimed the singer plans to look after new artists - once the girl band split up.

Cheryl can be heard saying: "I have what it takes to make it as a manager and will give it my best shot."

"I think there is a lack of good female management in the industry." ContactMusic quotes her saying. "Since Girls Aloud have been managed by a woman, we have gone from strength to strength."

Cheryl Cole is working on her debut solo album, expected later this year. Will.i.am described her new project as a "big, big record."
