‘Spurs knew Arsenal or Bayern would swoop for Mourinho’ – Tottenham now bigger than Chelsea, says Hoddle

A man who spent time in north and west London as a player and coach believes a Portuguese tactician will deliver major silverware in a new role

Tottenham did well to keep Jose Mourinho out of the clutches of Arsenal or Bayern Munich, says Glenn Hoddle, with the Portuguese expected to deliver more silverware at a club that is now bigger than his previous employers at Chelsea.

With change being mooted across north London in November, it was Spurs who made the first move.

The difficult decision was taken to part with Mauricio Pochettino, with Mourinho appointed in his place as arch-rivals at Emirates Stadium dithered before relieving Unai Emery of his duties.
