'He has banished Mourinho's ghost' - Carragher hails Conte as one of the best
Posted Saturday, March 18, 2017 by Goal.com
The Portuguese's status as number one in the eyes of Chelsea supporters has definitely come to an end in the view of the former Liverpool defender
Antonio Conte's classy management means Chelsea supporters have moved on from Jose Mourinho for the first time in a decade, according to Jamie Carragher.
The former Liverpool defender, now a pundit, believes Chelsea fans had always yearned for Mourinho since his first spell in charge of the club came to an abrupt end in 2007.
But after watching Blues supporters goad the Manchester United boss for the second time this season in Monday's FA Cup quarter-final victory, he thinks the ghost of Mourinho has finally been banished from Stamford Bridge.
"Would there have been a point in those early months when a section of the Chelsea support hankered for Mourinho still being their manager?" Carragher wrote in The Daily Mail.
