Lampard: Great to have Mourinho back at Chelsea

Frank Lampard is delighted Jose Mourinho has returned to Chelsea.

Lampard admits Mourinho was fuming after their defeat at Newcastle United.

He told talkSPORT: "He is who he is. He used to get quite upset and quite vocal with a loss, but I always liked that about him because then you know where you are. Some managers don't say anything after a bad result, and you're left wondering what they're thinking. For me, one of the beautiful things about him is his personality - and that hasn't changed.

"I was delighted he came back because I knew what a great manager he'd be for the club and for me. At that later stage of your career, it's great to have a manager you trust and who understands you - and you understand him. We have a lot of young players here too. They need direction, a good leader and someone to take them forward. For me, he was the man that was going to do it."
