#9. Frank Lampard
It was really a choice between the legendary English midfielder and Claude Makelele. We decided to go with the prolific midfielder who was turned into one of the best players of his generation by Mourinho.
Winning the League twice, Lampard continued to perform to the best of his abilities even after Mourinho departed. He is remembered for his long rangers and late run into the box to grab goals off the midfield.
Lampard has always been in full praise of the Portuguese manager, even calling him the best manager that he ever played for at one time. Likewise, Mourinho has always been in good terms with the Englishman and the two have continued to share a great relationship on and off the pitch.
