Jose Mourinho takes over as new Tottenham Hotspur manager

Jose Mourinho has been hired as the new Tottenham Hotspur manager, the club announced on Wednesday.

The shock move comes after the north London club sacked Mauricio Pochettino on Tuesday amid a poor start to the Premier League season.

Mourinho returns to lead the third Premier League club in his career. He won three Premier League titles (2004-05, 2005-06, 2014-15) across two stints at Chelsea. From 2016-2018, he was in charge of Manchester United winning the 2016-17 Europa League crown.

His time at United ended in December 2018 following rising tensions with the Old Trafford front office and which saw the team make their worst start to a league campaign after 17 games since the 1990-91 season.
