“I am excited to be joining a club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters,” said the 56-year-old, hours after Mauricio Pochettino was shown the door. Next stop was Inter Milan, who became the first Italian side to complete the treble of league, cup and Champions League. In June 2013, Chelsea appointed Mourinho — now the “Happy One” — as manager for the second time. He won a third Premier League title in his second season in charge before a poor start to the next campaign cost him his job.

Though he suffered damage to his reputation, the Spurs appointment shows his stock is still high, with chair Daniel Levy hailing him as “one of the most successful managers in football”. But he now brings baggage as well as trophy-winning nous.
