Tottenham, the doubts of the English press: "Is Mourinho still a winner?"

Certainly, the "return of Mou", as the tabloids claim, is in the news: even in the Financial Times, a financial newspaper that rarely deals with sports. The character is too big, too full of trophies, too divisive and controversial, so as not to arouse interest. A point in his favor, the British press observes, is that at least this time he will live in the city where he trains: in London he has maintained home since Chelsea, he will not need to live for two and a half years in a hotel like he did in Manchester, a decision that helped not to get it into the hearts of the fans.

Jose Mourinho new coach of Tottenham

But there are also quite a few unfavorable points, the experts agree. Wherever he arrived, Mourinho claimed expenses of hundreds of millions for the purchase campaign: apart from the fact that in this case he arrives in a closed campaign, the owner Levy is a notoriously narrow-minded one. After two markets without purchases, his reluctance to spend had become one of the reasons for friction with Pochettino. On the other hand, the Spurs boast one of the best "academies" in England, a nursery of young talents that is precious and well cared for in the future: but Jose has never been the type, at least so far, who cares about tomorrow, rather caring about the here I'm.

A third reason for possible contrasts comes from the fans, who for now do not rejoice in his appointment and which in the past has had quite a few episodes of controversy with him, when the Portuguese sat on other benches. And the fourth doubt comes from the players: how will the locker room welcome him? Will he be ready to adopt his methods immediately, already indicated by the appointment of a new assistant coach, Joao Sacramento, who presents a tabula rasa?

The basic question, summarizes the BBC, is whether the Mourinho of great successes, "at Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid" still exists, or if we will see the United coach's gloomy and bad mood, what he had to be the heir of Ferguson and instead he was ousted, as indeed happens almost always after two or three years. In his first comment, he says he is excited to find himself leading a team "with a great tradition and such passionate supporters". In 11 months of absence from the camp he also recognizes that he "learned" from his mistakes and was changed. To start, he changed his hairstyle, showing a short commando cut. "But will it be able to modernize its approach and change its style of play", writes the Guardian, in the era of Klopp and Guardiola, increasingly faster, more spectacular and total football, one that has thrived for a long time on the defense and the counter-attack? "The truth", continues the London newspaper, "is that usually Mou brings different doses and different faces, the good, the bad and the bad, it remains to be seen which will prevail at Tottenham".

Tottenham, now it's official: Pochettino exonerated

From his has just enough to raise the club bringing him close to qualifying for the Champions League: worse than it is now, probably could not go to anyone. And maybe even win just one cup, the following season, in order to confirm the theory that, with Jose, some trophy is always brought home. Pochettino, for his part, may not be unemployed for a long time: if Solskjaer does not improve quickly at Manchester United, the Argentine could soon end there, continuing the game of the four cantons on the Premier benches.
