This is probably
one of the most trying periods in the career of mercurial football coach and
manager, Jose Mourinho. For the first time since he came into international
limelight as a world class team manager, a team he’s managing is struggling.
Mourinho’s blues started a while ago
when he was unceremoniously sacked as the manager of Manchester United for
alleged team non-performance. However, football watchers claim that it was due
to his inability to handle certain influential players in the team who were
brainwashing their fellow team mates.
But, truth be told, Spurs problems have not been that of approach play but scoring goals.

Within the space of a season and a half,
he was back in the premiership with the mission of rescuing Tottenham Hotspurs
from slipping into oblivion. However, the successful execution of this mission
seems to be going hopelessly wrong. Spurs run of bad form has not stopped. This
was what led to the sacking of Pocchetino in the first place.
Check this out – Since their first leg
champions league home loss to RB Leipzig on the 19tah of February,
Spurs has been winless in six consecutive matches. Their recent form has been
no wins, two draws and five losses. This was not what the Spurs board where
expecting when they sacked Pocchetino and replaced him with Mourinho.
But, truth be told, Spurs problems have
not been that of approach play but scoring goals. Kane, Son and Erickson are
out due to injury and the possibility of purchasing replacements are nil this
season. However, Mourinho has always been a lucky man. The coronavirus enforced
break may just be the gap he needs to save Spurs and his job.
