Chelsea boss Frank Lampard ‘wouldn’t’ manage Tottenham, unlike Jose Mourinho

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has insisted he wouldn’t follow in Jose Mourinho’s footsteps by managing London rivals Tottenham in the future.

Mourinho, who has had two spells as Chelsea manager, replaced Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham boss on Wednesday despite having said earlier in his career that he could never take charge at Spurs.

However, Lampard, who spent the bulk of his playing career at Stamford Bridge before taking over as head coach this summer, is adamant his deep ties to the club would prevent a repeat.

“I can firmly say no and you can replay that again in 10 years,” Lampard said.

“It wouldn’t happen, but I think things are different. Jose Mourinho has worked at a lot of football clubs and we have to respect his right to work.

“On the other hand I was here for 13 years as a player, have an absolutely deep feeling for the club, and I obviously went to Man City for a year at the end of my career but Chelsea is certainly something very close to my heart and hence why I’m so proud to manage this club and hence why unfortunately I wouldn’t manage Tottenham.”…….read more
