Spurs fans predict trophies as Mourinho replaces Pochettino

Tottenham fans believe their trophy drought will soon come to an end after Jose Mourinho became their new boss on Wednesday morning.

Mourinho signed a contract until the end of the 2022-23 season with the north London club and has been handed double the salary of predecessor Mauricio Pochettino.

The Portuguese, who has been out of work since leaving Manchester United close to 12 months ago, has a rich history of delivering titles and cups and optimistic Tottenham fans were left positive following his announcement.

'Finally Tottenham will win a trophy this season. The Mourinho effect!' one excited fan wrote on Twitter.

Another added: 'Mauricio Pochettino is a great manager but Jose Mourinho to Tottenham may be a better appointment than everyone thinks.

'Wouldn't be surprised if some sort of trophy was pending soon...'

Others simply rejoiced at the return of Mourinho, with many suggesting that the Premier League without him has 'become dull'.

'Premier league without #JoseMourinho is dull. Exciting times ahead,' one user wrote.

But the hilarity came in the form of GIFs and memes with Mourinho's determination to be rigid defensively captured in the form of him stood on a London bus.

Others used reactions from the US Office to poke fun at the reactions of stars like Harry Kane when he meets Mourinho, after the Portuguese accused the striker of 'hiding' in the Champions League final back in June.
