World NewsNo Tears As Jose Talks Frank |
Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho insists he is not about to cry over losing out in the quest to sign Chelsea's Frank Lampard.
The England midfielder was a target for the Serie A club, now managed by the former Blues boss, but instead opted to remain at Stamford Bridge.Mourinho instead looked to the future and was happy to have secured the transfer of Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari from Portsmouth.
He told Sky Sports: "I am not the sort of manager who cries. I look forward and move on.
"I could have waited until August 31 to see what could happen, I am not that type of person.
"When we were sensing the situation was not going to happen, we made our decision and I am very happy to have Muntari.
"He is a good boy, a good player, I always like players who previously worked with good managers and he worked with one of the best in English football, so he will have learned a lot with Harry (Redknapp).
"I prefer to think about Sulley than about Frank Lampard.
"He will be in Chelsea, it is because he will be happy, and I have no more comment about it."
