‘Mourinho the only man who could replace Pochettino’ – Portuguese will deliver Tottenham trophy, says Woodgate

The former Spurs defender, who helped the club to League Cup glory in 2008, expects a “serial winner” to end a barren run in north London

Jose Mourinho is the only man who could have “come in above” Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham, says Jonathan Woodgate, with a “serial winner” expected to end a 12-year wait for major silverware.

Spurs opted to make a change in the dugout back in November after stumbling out of the blocks under the Argentine coach.

Pochettino had carried the north London club a long way over five-and-a-half years, but was considered to have hit a glass ceiling.
