A statement on Tottenham’s official website read: We are delighted to announce the appointment of Jose Mourinho as Head Coach on a contract that runs until the end of the 2022/23 season.

Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy believes the club have made the right decision in appointing Mourinho who is one of the successful managers in football.

Reacting to his appointment, Mourinho revealed he is excited to be back managing at a club that has so much heritage.
