Jose Mourinho has warned Chelsea's old guard they will not get any preferential treatment during his second term at the club.

Mourinho, officially unveiled as the new boss of Chelsea yesterday, relied heavily on the likes of John Terry, 32, and Frank Lampard, 34, during his first spell in charge of the club.

But both players could not hold down a regular first-team place last season under interim boss Rafael Benitez. "There are still a few boys from my first time," Mourinho said.

"It is always good to go back and see these people who gave absolutely everything to me when I was here.

"But it's important to tell you – not them, because they know – that there is no privilege for them. They know my nature. They don't have an advantage in relation to the other people."

Mourinho also responded to Andres Iniesta's claim that he damaged spanish football, by snapping back: "I damaged Spanish football by being the manager that broke Barcelona's dominance.

"They were dominant, dominant and dominant, and it looked like a dominance without an end.

"Then Real Madrid won a cup final against Barcelona, the Super Cup against Barcelona, we won in Barcelona and the championship, which is the historic championship of 100 points and 121 goals. I hurt them, I hurt them. It was a fantastic time for me."
