Lampard to bid Premier League farewell
Jose Mourinho has paid tribute to the “Chelsea legend”, playing his last Premier League match on Sunday.
The midfielder won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and the League Cup during Mourinho‘s first spell at the club.
The 36 year-old will now join MLS side New York City FC during the summer and the Chelsea boss had some kind farewell words for his former player.
Mourinho Bids Farewell
Mourinho said: “I have to say some words, with emotion, about Frank Lampard, like Steven Gerrard also playing his last match in the Premier League.
“One of my best players ever, one of my best professionals ever, a Chelsea legend and a legend in the Premier League.
“So, last match for Frank, and I have to honour him and wish him the best in the States. I hope he can come back to England as soon as possible because people like him make this country much better. A big loss for English football.”
