'I wish him all the best' - Mourinho's Tottenham move backed by Chelsea captain Azpilicueta

The Portuguese tactician was sent well wishes by his former Blues player despite joining their London rivals

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has wished former manager Jose Mourinho all the best as Tottenham's new head coach.

Mourinho was appointed by Spurs on Wednesday, a day after the Premier League club – who are 14th in the table – sacked Argentinian manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The Portuguese tactician led Chelsea to three league titles across two spells at the helm, but will now look to salvage their rivals' season only 11 months since being dismissed as Manchester United coach.
