Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, announcing Mourinho's arrival, said: "In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football.
He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician. He has won honours at every club he has coached.
We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room."

The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me."
