Summary
Jose Mourinho was appointed Wednesday to replace the sacked Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham, with a brief to revive the flagging fortunes of a club languishing in the lower reaches of the Premier League. The former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United manager has signed a contract until the end of the 2022/23 season.
Mourinho's glittering CV includes Champions League titles with Porto and Inter Milan.
Mourinho was sacked by Manchester United last December following a poor run and has been without a club since, most recently working as a TV pundit.
Argentine Pochettino was dismissed Tuesday, with Spurs struggling in the league after picking up just three wins from 12 games.
Tottenham qualified for the Champions League four times under Pochettino, culminating in a dramatic run to the European Cup final in June, which they lost 2-0 to Liverpool in Madrid.
Mourinho arrives with the club 11 points outside the Premier League top four, though they are well placed to reach the last 16 of the Champions League.
