Chelsea Midfielder Lampard: John Terry, Ashley Cole & I Will 'Fight' To Become Chelsea Manager Next

Blues midfielder Frank Lampard and defender John Terry have exposed that they and team partner Ashley Cole are undertaking their coaching badges at the end of the season.

When they will finished as a player then fight with each other who is the next manager of Chelsea they jokes each other.

Could I come back as a Chelsea manager? Listen, I’d love to. Me, Frank and Ashley Cole are looking into doing our badges towards the end of this season," Terry told the Blues' official club magazine.

Chelsea midfielder Lampard then added: "We’re at least going to look into doing our badges by the time we pack up, put it that way. Then it’ll be a fight to see who can be Chelsea manager first!"

Blues players are also enjoying working with manager of Chelsea Carlo Ancelotti, who did his bit for team spirit at a meal the other night by undergoing the traditional initiation ritual of singing a song.

"To be fair to him he got up straight away but I can’t remember what he sang," said England captain john terry.

"Still when his wife came to say hello to him at a Champions League hotel, he got her up on a chair and singing in front of the lads – so fair play to him."

Chelsa star Lampard also exposed another superstition to add to Terry's apparently endless list of pre-match rituals.

"I know John likes to have a wee in the right hand side urinal," he joked.

"If I’m standing there and I’m ready to go but I see John coming up, I’ll move - you’ve got to have your captain right for the game!"

Defender of the team Terry admitted: "It’s true. When the dressing room was installed, for some reason I could only go there. And the foreign lads don’t really get why I’m waiting behind them when there’s plenty of spaces elsewhere!"

Manchester United are place to formulate a fly down for Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra

Manchester United are place to formulate a fly down for Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra, in proportion to reports from England.
The Mali international suffered a cruel knee injury last time of year, putting him out of battle for the mainstream of the campaign, and leading Los Blancos to swoop for his namesake, Lassana Diarra, from Portsmouth.Since his entrance and the purchase of Xabi Alonso from Liverpool, the 28-year old has found himself inaccessible at the Santiago Bernabeu, and according to The Daily Star Sunday, Sir Alex Ferguson wants to add the enforcer to his position as he aims to defend the clubs’ Premier League crown.
The Red Devils had formerly been connected with a move for Diarra when he was a Lyon player, but at the time he opted for a shift to Spain, and any move to England relies on Real Madrid’s judgment of the player.His representative has been quoted as saying, “For now, a move in January is possible but it will be very difficult. It depends how much money a club is agreeable to pay for the player, and how much the Real want for him.“His contract finishes in 2011, so he still has time to run.”

Mourinho hails departing Patrick Vieira

Vieira has seemed more and more likely to be heading out of the San Siro, having featured just 16 times in all competitions this season - with most of those coming from the bench.

The former Arsenal midfielder, who has been strongly linked with a return to the Premier League, has now made his last appearance in an Inter shirt after playing the full 90 minutes of the 1-0 triumph at Chievo.

Mourinho said: ''I should give a special mention to Vieira, who certainly played his last game with us. I don't know where he will go, maybe to England which he likes a lot, but we should thank him for what he has done in these years at Inter.

''The club decided not to renew his contract, which is coming to an end, and to accept the offer of another club. I will miss him but I don't have the right to demand anything from a club who has done so much for me.''

New Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is reportedly keen to offer the 33-year-old - whom he signed while in charge at Inter during 2006 - a return to England, initially on a loan deal, as Vieira aims to cement his place in the French World Cup squad.

Barcelona and Lyon are also said to be interested but it seems unlikely the former France captain will move to the Nou Camp, given that his prime objective is for more playing time with the World Cup around the corner.
