Mourinho tried to keep experienced duo
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho insists he tried to keep both Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard at the club this summer, according to the Daily Star.
The veteran duo both left Stamford Bridge at the end of their contracts, but Mourinho claims they were offered renewals to their deals before sealing free transfers to AS Roma and New York City FC, respectively.
“They were [offered new deals],” the Portuguese coach confirmed. “I think they are happier – in spite of their love for Chelsea – in this new situation for them.”
