After struggling to find first-team football under Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, Joe Cole insists that he needs a boss that has faith in him.
The England international midfielder will be released by the Blues when his contract runs out this month, with Tottenham Hotspur expressing interest in the 28-year-old.
Cole admitted that this past Premier League season was a tough one for him after being froze out of the Chelsea line-up by Ancelotti.
"This season was very difficult for me. I just want to put it behind me now,” Cole told The Mirror.
“What I need in my career is a manager who will give me that feeling that you are going to play here. That’s faith.
"Under Jose Mourinho if you look at it, I played more than Robben, Duff, Wrighty [Wright-Phillips], Malouda, Mutu, Gudjohnsen. Jose had a lot of faith in me. I played in all the big games.
"Even in the first year I played more than them. I know because I have looked at the stats. It just happened that it was spread out.
"I am sure that will all sort itself out. I don't want to talk too much about Chelsea. That is another story. I just want to concentrate on the World Cup. I want to my best for England over the next few weeks."
