Frank Lampard seeks recruitment advice from José Mourinho

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has revealed that he continues to seek tactical and recruitment advice from José Mourinho. As Lampard prepares his squad for their return to the Premier League, he noted that he recently contacted the Portuguese coach regarding a specific player Mourinho had previously managed.

Lampard described Mourinho as being ‘always on call,’ noting that while the response may take a few days due to Mourinho's schedule, the feedback provided is ‘very, very detailed.’ Lampard clarified that the player in question was not associated with Real Madrid.

Reflecting on their history at Chelsea, Lampard stated that Mourinho had the greatest impact on his career by providing him with confidence. While Lampard emphasized his intention to manage in his own style and find his own balance, he acknowledged the enduring influence of the lessons learned from his former mentor.
