'Sarri was my manager, not my friend' - Jorginho vows to kick on under Lampard at Chelsea

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has expressed his desire to turn the page on the Maurizio Sarri era, with Frank Lampard now in charge at Stamford Bridge.

Sarri departed the club after just one season in charge, taking over Juventus with Chelsea legend Lampard brought in to replace the Italian.

Jorginho and Sarri worked together at Napoli, and Sarri insisted on bringing in the Italy international midfielder for £57 million ($86m) last summer when he was hired as Chelsea boss.

Though Sarri viewed Jorginho as vital to his style of play and the duo had a history together, Jorginho insists he is ready to move on to a new phase at Stamford Bridge.
