Mourinho: 10-year-old Chelsea team now over

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says he's the midst of building a new team.

Mourinho is bidding to mould his current squad, featuring the likes of Eden Hazard and Nemanja Matic, into serial winners after a first campaign in three years without a trophy.

"Clearly, Chelsea had a fantastic team that lasted for 10 years," he said.

"That team is over. It doesn't exist any more. Chelsea needs to build another team with some similarities to that one.

"Some of these boys are still here, but not many of them. And Chelsea is building its future.

"You could see this season that these people were important to give some stability, to give some experience to the team, but obviously they're not the players for the next 10 years.

"The players for the next 10 years have to be the Hazards, Oscars, Matic... these young guys are the guys for the next 10 years."
