The news of Mauricio Pochettino being sacked was announced last night, and it did not take long for Tottenham to announce his replacement in Jose Mourinho.

With only 2 wins in their last 11 Premier League games, it seems like a change at Spurs was needed.

However, many supporters were disappointed to see Pochettino go, he has built a stable squad yet has been unable to bring any silverware home to White Hart Lane.

It is clear to see why Spurs have appointed Jose, yet it is still a great risk. It is well known that Jose does not factor in longevity in his sides, much unlike Pochettino who had been great with building players up, to the liking of Daniel Levy no doubt.

But the idea of Levy not backing Mourinho is very unlikely to me. Especially after dealing with Woodward and the Glazers at Manchester United, Jose would’ve been sure to not have a similar situation in his next job.

The squad at Tottenham seems to suit the build of a classic Mourinho side, with some players that he was interested in while at the helm in Manchester, with Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld fitting his strong mould of player.

Of course, the backing will be the deciding factor in the outcome of Mourinho’s time and whether Spurs will get any silverware.
Although i can’t see Mourinho creating a title contending team at Spurs, I can certainly see him picking up some silverware, but what will be the cost of this?

As seen at Jose’s time at United and Chelsea, tension usually builds in the dressing room with the manager and players, as well as the football being not so attractive. Yet, it seems like Jose Mourinho could be the best man for the job that Spurs need – to collect silverware.

Although, whether Mourinho will be considered a success at Spurs is unlikely, with the inevitability of Jose causing trouble at the club in the end. It will be questioned whether an FA cup win (for example) would be enough for Jose to be a success, as he will likely leave the club worse of than they are now.
