Tottenham Hotspur has announced the appointment of José Mourinho as their new manager on a contract that will run until the end of the 2022-23 season, following the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino Tuesday.
Spurs adds to a long list of clubs Jose Mourinho has managed in his career as a Manager, notably amongst them includes FC Porto, Internazionale, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
“I am excited to be joining a club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters,” said Mourinho in a
statement released by the Premier League club . “The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me.”
Daniel Levy, the chairman of the club, said: “In José 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, described in a club statement as “one of the world’s most accomplished managers”, has won 25 senior trophies, including a domestic title in a record four different countries. He has also won the Champions League title twice with two clubs – Porto and Inter.
The 56-year-old won three Premier League titles over two spells in charge of Chelsea and returned to England to manage Manchester United in 2016.
He was sacked last December following a poor run of results and has been out of work since, most recently working as a pundit for Sky Sports.
