'No idea': Jose Mourinho now shares what he thinks of Chelsea after Champions League final at Wembley


Jose Mourinho refused to be dragged into the discussion about Chelsea when asked what he thought of Mauricio Pochettino leaving the club this summer despite defying the odds and helping them to an impressive sixth-place finish in the league.
Mourinho is regarded by many as one of the best managers in the game and Chelsea's greatest ever after winning three league titles, one FA Cup and three League Cups across two spells in west London.

Last season they finished 12th in the league, but Pochettino came in and got them to the final of the League Cup, semi-final of the FA Cup and back to Europe.
However that was not enough and when asked what he thought of it, the former Chelsea manager told TNT: "I have no idea. I have no idea. Tottenham I have an idea. They want to always be finishing fourth and fifth but Chelsea honestly I don't know.
“Next season Tottenham have Europa League, of course, they can win it but for Chelsea, it’s really hard to tell at the moment.”
