Mourinho still has a home in London and won three Premier League titles – in 2005, 2006 and 2015 – as well as one FA Cup in two spells at Chelsea.
He is expected to turn around Tottenham’s abysmal performance this campaign that has seen the last season Champions league finalist languishing in the bottom 10 of the premier league.
