The former Blues midfielder says the Portuguese never lost the dressing room in his first stint at Stamford Bridge, which ended in September 2007
Jose Mourinho’s shock departure from Chelsea in September 2007 left the likes of Didier Drogba, John Terry and Frank Lampard “crying on the floor”, says Steve Sidwell.
A Portuguese tactician had helped to lift the Blues to the very top of the English game during an initial stint in the Stamford Bridge dugout.
Having been lured away from Porto in the summer of 2004, Mourinho delivered two Premier League titles, an FA Cup triumph and two League Cup wins in west London.
