Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho has signed a contract until the end of the 2022-23 season.


Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, announcing Mourinho's arrival, said: "In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football.

"He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician. He has won honours at every club he has coached.

"We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room."

Mourinho said: "I am excited to be joining a club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters.

The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me."





Jose Mourinho has been appointed Tottenham manager, succeeding Mauricio Pochettino who was sacked on Tuesday.

Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho has signed a contract until the end of the 2022-23 season. "In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football," said Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

Wow
Surely there has to be more to this story. You dont sack one of the most sought after in the world who has just taken you to a champions league final and replace him hours later. Something went wrong

Many people on here were expecting us to sign Mourinho. Of course, if we’d waited another week we could have had Pochetino!

And people said we rushed into having Harris?

What a horrible club and a horrible man, a marriage made in heaven and a car crash waiting to happen. Bet he won't last more than 18months......

Can't stand the man. Can't stand the way the press fall at his feet hanging on to every word he says. He'll be interviewed all the time on MOTD and Sky. I wish he'd gone to China for a few years.

And people said we rushed into having Harris?

Jose was lined up for some time, Allan

He had indicated recently (on sky) that he was 'close' to making a comeback and the club were ambitious and might surprise a few

Pochettino was asked to leave a week or two ago but declined (preferring the sack, as monetarily he and his coaching team are due c.£19m)

For me (if I have a 'second' team, it's Spurs because I lived up that way when Hoddle was coming through in my early working life) this is a great appointment and a rejuvenated Mourinho could be the catalyst for the club to finally challenge in a consistent manner

Interesting to see if 'Poch' goes the other way to ManUre ready for the transfer window!

Apparently it's been a month in the making no wonder potty wanted to make spurs fork out? While Jose will undoubtedly rejuvenate spurs is short term gain worth it? Yes potty to united is a distinct possibility but think it be for next season as ole looks to be getting somewhere now.

Mourinho is box office. But it comes with a lot of risk.

I think Levy is desperate to win a trophy, and Mourinho is the man to deliver that. He even won trophies during a difficult time at Man Utd.

There will be less pressure on him as there was at United to win a title, because Spurs aren't as big as Man Utd and will be realistic about that.

I think he'll do well for a few years, but history has proved that it always ends badly when Mourinho takes over.

Good to see him back

Good to see him back

Tony, in your words...

FIVE COACHES TO WORK WITH JOSE

Tottenham have now announced a raft of appointments as part of Jose Mourinho’s backroom team including confirmation of Joao Sacramento’s arrival from Lille as assistant manager.

“We can now confirm the appointments of Joao Sacramento, Carlos Lalin, Nuno Santos, Ricardo Formosinho and Giovanni Cerra as part of new head coach Jose Mourinho’s coaching staff,” a Spurs statement read.

“Joao joins as assistant head coach from Ligue 1 side Lille, where he worked in a similar role and has also held the same position at Monaco.

“Nuno also joins from Lille as our new goalkeeper coach, having enjoyed a playing career in Portugal and Major League Soccer.

“Carlos will take up the position of fitness coach, having previously worked with Jose at Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid, while Ricardo and Giovanni will take up roles as tactical analyst and technical analyst respectively.

“Both have also worked under Jose in the past with Ricardo, a former manager of Santa Clara and Kuala Lumpar, having spent time at Old Trafford, while Giovanni worked as an analyst at both Chelsea and Manchester United.”

JOSE 'PROMISED FUNDS' AT SPURS

As part of the negotiations with Daniel Levy, Jose Mourinho was promised funds to improve the Tottenham squad in January and in the summer transfer window, if he felt necessary, Sky Sports News understands.

Additionally, we’ve been told Jose believes Tottenham already has the players to turn their season around and challenge for honours.

Why the shock,natural successor.

Agree

JOSE: I DON'T NEED NEW PLAYERS

Jose Mourinho has been speaking at his first press conference as Tottenham manager. Does he need to spend in January? Well he doesn't seem to think so... Not for now anyway!

He said: “The best gift are the players who are here. I don’t need new players. I just need to get to know these ones better. I know them well but you never know them well enough until you meet them.”

I Will be surprised if he does not get a player or 2 in January .

He has a decent set of players but can see him signing a couple in January.

But it doesn't need a massive overhaul at all, maybe replace the full backs in the summer.

The key for him will be keeping hold of Eriksen, Kane etc

Nice start to his new job

Good to see him back

Tony, in your words...

Agree with you both, he adds to the Premier League

Poch to Arsenal would be good if not Man U, he could be the answer at either club and would piss Spurs fans off a treat!
