Nathan Ake reveals Jose Mourinho left him ‘mentally broken’ at Chelsea
Nathan Ake has revealed he was left ‘mentally broken’ by Jose Mourinho’s treatment of him at Chelsea.The Bournemouth defender found opportunities difficult to come by during his time at Stamford Bridge, particularly in Mourinho’s second spell at the club.2

Ake struggled to break into Chelsea’s first team

After a promising 2012/13 season under Rafael Benitez, in which he starred in the youth set up and played six first-team games, the Dutchman was immediately dropped to the reserves upon Mourinho’s arrival.He eventually left Chelsea for Bournemouth in 2017 after making just seven Premier League appearances for the Blues.Ake, 24, told the Telegraph: “I went to the first team at Chelsea and played under Rafa Benitez and I always thought, ‘why is everyone saying setbacks are coming because everything is going up, up, up?’ “The season after Benitez left I thought, ‘this is going to be my season’.“Then Jose Mourinho came and, without training, I got dropped into the second team. That was one of the toughest things for me, mentally. I was quite broken.“Everything was going great, I played a few games, I was young player of the year and then I was in the reserves again.”2

Mourinho did not consider Ake first-team material

Ake has been linked with a sensational return to Chelsea following his bright form on the south coast.Manchester United and Tottenham are also thought to be interested in the centre-back.
