Jose Mourinho supported decision to sell Petr Cech... but Chelsea boss reveals he always wanted goalkeeper to remain at club

Jose Mourinho says he supports Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's decision to sell Petr Cech to rivals Arsenal.

Cech spent 10 years as Chelsea's first-choice goalkeeper but completed a move across the capital on Monday after falling behind Thibaut Courtois in Mourinho's selection.

The Portuguese would have preferred Cech to stay, rather than strengthen a rival, but respected Abramovich's decision to allow a distinguished servant to choose his next destination and Cech chose to remain in London.
