Jose Mourinho is heading back to the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur officially announced Mourinho as its new manager late Tuesday night, which was early morning United Kingdom time, less than 24 hours after sacking veteran boss Mauricio Pochettino.
“I am excited to be joining a Club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters,” Mourinho said in a statement. “The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me.”
Reports began to surface Tuesday evening that Mourinho was going to get the job.
