Footage 0:00〜0:39
Pochettino out, Mourinho in. Daniel Levy has taken decisive action to turn around Tottenham’s poor start to the season. The Champions League final back in June is now a distant memory. There were less than 12 hours between the announcements of Pochettino being sacked and Jose replacing him. Spurs not wasting any time, but have they got the right man? Mourinho generally has an immediate positive impact wherever he goes and with two thirds of the season to go, 11 points off the Champions League places might not seem that much. Pochettino was loved at Tottenham, but he leaves the club having failed to win a trophy. Jose has proven track record of delivering silverware and he is not shy about reminding people.
