Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to some old footage of Jose Mourinho from his time as manager of Internazionale.
Daily Hotspur shared some footage, which was originally posted by Football on BT Sport, which shows the Portuguese manager celebrating a Champions League semi-final win against Barcelona from ten years ago. Despite suffering a 1-0 loss on the night, it was the Italian side who, with the help of Mourinho’s tactics, would progress to the final; where they would beat Bayern Munich 2-0.
The 57-year-old was appointed Spurs boss in November of last year, following the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino but has struggled somewhat so far, with the Lilywhites currently occupying eighth place on the Premier League table.
Do you think Spurs will win a trophy next season?
Yes

Let’s see the comments get overflowed with people calling him finished, despite his rubbish United-side still winning more than our best ever Premier League side.

Won just 1 of his last 10 CL KO ties.. Undoubtedly a brilliant manager in the past.

The footage seems to have split the opinion of some of these Spurs fans, with some believing that the Portuguese manager is no longer at his best, whilst others feel he needs time to produce similar results with the North London club.
What do we think?
Mourinho has won a serious amount of trophies during his time as a manager and although his first season with Spurs hasn’t produced silverware, perhaps we will see him deliver the Lilywhites’ first trophy since 2008 next season.
