'He didn't have a good relationship with the dressing room': Serge Aurier BLASTS Jose Mourinho's assistant Joao Sacramento and blames him for the 'deterioration' at Tottenham... but hails his 'born winner' former boss

Serge Aurier has brutally pointed the finger at Jose Mourinho's assistant Joao Sacramento for Tottenham's downfall last season.

Mourinho was sacked by Spurs in April 2021 after a run of just one win in five Premier League games, with the club having also suffered painful exits from the FA Cup and Europa League.

There was a reported divide between the decorated boss and Tottenham's players, but Aurier suggests that there was more of an issue with number two Sacramento.
