Jose Mourinho has waded into one of the most contentious debates in English football, offering his opinion on which of Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard was the superior player.
The Portuguese boss appeared on the Rio Ferdinand Presents Five podcast, a month on from his sacking by Serie A side Roma in January.
Mourinho had led the side to their first-ever European trophy in 2022 but was dismissed following continued poor league form - and an increased level of ill-discipline on the touchline.
Among the most successful periods of his career came during his first spell with Chelsea, where he formed a seemingly unbreakable bond with a squad that included Lampard.
