Spurs fans were treated to a video of Joao Sacramento talking about the team spirit at the club on Twitter this week.
The interview with the Portuguese assistant manager was shared with fans on the club’s official Twitter and shows the assistant manager describing the celebrations after the 2-0 win over Manchester City last weekend. He said: “If you look at how they celebrated the goal – a sub and a non-squad player celebrating with them, I think it’s a sign that this group is united.”
The 31-year-old joined from Lille when Jose Mourinho was appointed in November last year and already looks to have made a strong impression on Spurs fans. Despite his age, the coach already has experience working with the likes of Marcelo Bielsa and Claudio Ranieri and comes with a lot of pedigree.
Should Sacramento be considered as a possible manager of Spurs?
Yes
No

One fan even suggested that Joao Sacramento had a touch of Andre Villas-Boas about him. The Portuguese boss managed to secure 45 wins and 18 draws during his time in North London.
Touch of the AVBs about this guy, but I’d have to see how well he can pull off a skinny-fit suit before I reach a final verdict.

These Spurs clearly enjoyed the video of Sacramento, with many convinced that he will become their next manager.
What do we think?
It is perhaps a little premature to be thinking of who the next Spurs manager could be, considering Mourinho has been in charge for just over three months, but it seems as if a lot of Lilywhites feel that the 31-year-old is an ideal choice.
