Jose Mourinho keeping an eye on the Tottenham job
Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is keeping an eye on the situation at Tottenham, according to The Sun.
The Portuguese was sacked by the Red Devils last season and hasn’t managed since then. Mourinho has won league titles at Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Porto and is also keen on a return to the Spanish capital.
The report claims that Mourinho believes he can get the Madrid job if he wants it.
However, Mourinho has told some of his friends that he might not accept the Madrid offer due to the chance of taking over in London (h/t Sun).
Zinedine Zidane’s Real haven’t been all that great and it will be interesting to see how things develop in the Spanish capital.
Uncertain times for Pochettino
The report adds that Mauricio Pochettino faces an uncertain future at Tottenham.
The Argentine took us to the Champions League final in the previous campaign, but this season has been poor.
We are 14th in the Premier League and are 11 points behind fourth-placed Manchester City. The performances of the players haven’t been great either and we need to turn things around quickly.
Pochettino is a long-term target for Real Madrid too but Tottenham’s options would be limited if the Argentine left his position (h/t Sun).
Mourinho won the FA Cup and the Europa League with United, but a poor start to the previous campaign saw him get replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
