Jose Mourinho, also known as the ‘Special One,’ hasn’t lost the magic touch just yet. After Manchester United<\/a> humiliatingly sacked him, many fans assumed that the Premier League had seen the last of the Portuguese, but then Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> took a chance on him.<\/p>\n

Mourinho has shown his class while at Tottenham. After a difficult start, Spurs have won four out of their last six games. This included an impressive come from behind win against Arsenal<\/a> in the North London Derby.<\/p>\n

While they finished outside of the Champions League spots, Tottenham under Mourinho has shown that they are in a position to compete next season.<\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho is the Man to Lead Tottenham Hotspur<\/h2>\n

What has Jose Mourinho done at Tottenham?<\/h3>\n

For what seems like ages, Harry Kane<\/a> has been Tottenham’s talisman. The striker has scored 143 goals in 210 appearances while at the club.<\/p>\n

While his numbers have been spectacular, it has led to Tottenham being over-reliant on their captain. If Kane didn’t produce then no one would.<\/p>\n

However, Mourinho has also helped other players develop at White Hart Lane. The biggest case in point is right-back Serge Aurier<\/a>. The former PSG man struggled under the previous manager, Mauricio Pochettino<\/a>. But, under Mourinho, he has been transformed into a competent player.<\/p>\n

His defensive improvement is shown by the fact that he has averaged more clearances and won more tackles per game than in 2018\/2019. And Aurier is definitely a fan of the Special One.<\/p>\n

“For me, yes, he is in the three best managers in the world because he has won so many trophies,\u201d said<\/a> Aurier. \u201cWhen you win so many trophies with different teams, I think you are the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the club in a bad financial situation<\/a>, it will be up to Mourinho to get the most from what he already has. Aurier’s transformation proves he is the man to do it.<\/p>\n

No Nonsense Attitude<\/h3>\n

Jose Mourinho certainly has one thing going for him and that’s confidence.<\/p>\n

“I believe Tottenham is not going to be my only club without silverware. I won it at every club and I believe I am going to do it also with Tottenham.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am here for three or four months. I took on the team in a very difficult situation and now it is even more difficult with so many problems we\u2019re having but I believe in me, in the players, in the club and I believe that during my contract I am going to help the club to do it,” said the Portuguese manager in a TalkSPORT interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And this confidence seems to be rubbing off on the players. Under his leadership, the club has defeated Manchester City<\/a> without Harry Kane and Arsenal while going a goal behind.<\/p>\n

It’s clear to see that the club no longer has that “Spurs mentality” that has plagued them for so long. Examples of this problem include a 5-1 defeat to Newcastle on the final day of the season in 2016. Due to this defeat, the club missed a golden chance to finish second in the league.<\/p>\n

Yet, Mourinho has eliminated this problem. Arguably, the most confident man in world football, it seems that his team has adapted his mentality.<\/p>\n
