Jose Mourinho has said that of all the clubs he has managed, Tottenham is the only team for which the Portuguese does not have a special feeling and connection. The Roma coach was sacked by the London club in 2021, after just 1 and a half years in charge of the team. We remember that Mourinho has managed elite clubs in Europe such as: Real Madrid, Chelsea, Inter, Manchester United, etc. "The special one" expressed to the media in a recent communication:
"I hope Tottenham fans don't take this the wrong way, but the only club in my career I still don't have a deep feeling about is Tottenham. Maybe because the stadium was empty during the Covid period. Maybe because Mr. Levy (club president) didn't let me win a final and lift a trophy."
Mourinho was sacked just 1 week before the Carabao Cup final, where Tottenham were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City. The Portuguese coach then took charge of the Italians of Rome, triumphing in the Europa Conference League, in the first edition of the new European competition.
Jose Mourinho now has another chance to win a prestigious European trophy as Roma face Sevilla in the Europa League final in Budapest. The technician was asked at the press conference, and about his future at the head of the Italian club. He answered without giving too many details:
"We will always be linked together, as I am linked to all my previous clubs, except Mr Levy's club... Maybe people say you can't love all clubs, but no, I I want it all.”
