OLD PALS ACT ... Jose Mourinho with Frank Lampard and John Terry in 2005

JOSE MOURINHO wants to keep legends Frank Lampard and John Terry at Chelsea next season.

But he has ruled out a move for Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao and Real Madrid midfield maestro Xabi Alonso.

Mourinho’s imminent return has already stirred up Alex Ferguson, who smiled: “Yeah, he can get me angry again. I think going back is a big attraction for him.”

The Special One is already making plans ahead of his July return to West London — and keeping Terry and Lampard is high on his “to-do” list.

The Blues heroes have both been sidelined regularly since interim boss Rafa Benitez took charge in November.

Lamps, 34, is out of contract in the summer and has not been offered a new deal.
Terry, 32 — the most successful captain in the club’s history — has just a year to run on his current contract.

But the outgoing Real Madrid boss believes the pair still have much to offer and should stay at Stamford Bridge.

Both stars were key to Mourinho’s success in his first spell in SW6 as he won six trophies in three years.

Yet Falcao and Alonso will not be joining Mourinho in London, heightening speculation linking the £46million Atletico star with a switch to Manchester United and the Spanish midfielder with a return to Liverpool.

Our world exclusive scoop that Mourinho is going back to Chelsea caused excitement in the Premier League.

Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas said: “He would have a tremendous impact.”
