Jose Mourinho: 'Petr Cech is an institution'

By , Reporter
Jose Mourinho describes Petr Cech as an "institution", despite rumours linking him away from Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho has described Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech as an "institution", amid speculation surrounding his future at the club.

The Czech shot-stopper has been the second-choice keeper behind Thibaut Courtois this season, and has reportedly been allowed to leave in the summer.

Despite rumoured interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, Mourinho highlighted his appreciation for the keeper's services.

Mourinho told reporters: "Petr is not a player - he's an institution. Ten years in goal, going through everything he went through, great moments and sad moments, dying on the pitch.

"Chelsea gave him a lot, but for what he is giving to the club still, he deserves a special perspective."

Cech joined Chelsea from Rennes in 2004.
