“What a downgrade” – Some fans react to rumours over Pochettino’s successor

Some fans have been taking to Twitter to share their reaction to the news that Jose Mourinho is in the running to take over at Tottenham Hotspur.

Sky Sports are reporting that the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager is a serious contender to take over from Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs confirmed earlier this evening that they have parted company with Pochettino, who guided the club to the Champions League final last season before losing to Liverpool in Madrid (Spurs official).

Pochettino was at the helm for 293 games and delivered four successive top-four Premier League finishes, challenging for the title in 2015/16 and 2016/17.

However, Spurs have made a disappointing start to the current campaign and are in fourteenth place in the Premier League.

Mourinho has been out of work since leaving Manchester United last December and has previously managed rivals Chelsea.

Here’s how some fans reacted to the Mourinho rumours on Twitter.
