Victor Moses is finally
happy at Chelsea after the arrival of Antonio Conte as manager, revealing
former boss Jose Mourinho never spoke to him face to face.
Mourinho returns to
Stamford Bridge – where he won three Premier League titles in two spells at the
club – as Manchester United manager, and is expected to receive a warm welcome
from many fans and former players.
However there will be no
love lost between him and Nigeria international Moses, who was frozen out by
Mourinho after being sent on loan to Liverpool in 2013, when the Portuguese
returned to Chelsea.
Moses told ESPN: 'He
never spoke to me. I thought in my head, "He's got his own players
already."
'I think we chatted a
couple of times on the phone - he asked if I was alright at Liverpool, but that
was it.'
Mourinho was sacked by
Chelsea last December – having sent Moses out on loan again at the start of
last season, this time to West Ham United – and former Italy boss Conte was
appointed in the summer.
Since the Italian's
arrival, Moses has returned to the first team, in the previously unfamiliar
position of wing back.
Despite the new role
Moses is pleased to be playing football for Chelsea again, and speaks highly of
his new boss.
He said: 'The manager
who is here now is giving everyone a chance - even the young lads.
