Wilkins insists Chelsea players not pining for Mourinho

Chelsea assistant boss Ray Wilkins doesn't believe the senior players are still holding a candle for Jose Mourinho.

"Jose bought some of them into the place and would have played under him elsewhere as well," said Wilkins.

"Of course they will like the guy. Jose is a very nice fella. We all have favourite coaches and he might be the favourite coach of some of our guys.

"But they just got on with their job and that's what they are paid to do. It doesn't matter who coaches or in what method they coach, you are paid to train, keep your body in the best possible condition and play when selected."
