Lampard and Terry Recall Chelsea Dressing-Room Tears After Mourinho's 2007 Exit
Frank Lampard and John Terry have recalled the emotional atmosphere in Chelsea's dressing room after José Mourinho was sacked for the first time in September 2007. Lampard said Mourinho personally told him about the decision, leaving players shocked and tearful. He credited the Portuguese manager with playing a major role in his career and said such emotion was unusual when a manager left. Terry said he still feels partly responsible for the 1-1 Champions League draw against Rosenborg that preceded Mourinho's departure. The former Chelsea captain said the players struggled to understand why the club dismissed a manager they were deeply committed to. The memories feature in a new documentary series examining Mourinho's career, including his first spell at Chelsea, where he won two Premier League titles and six major trophies.
