John Obi Mikel, the former Nigerian midfielder made known his wish to be an assistant to Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard. He says that after retirement, he would love to assist Lampard in managing Chelsea.
They played together at the Stamford Bridge as team-mates for almost ten years in which they won lots of trophies together.
