Jose Mourinho has agreed a deal to replace Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham’s manager until the end of the 2022/23 season.
Negotiations between the London side and Mourinho’s representatives intensified over the last few days, with talks continuing into Tuesday night.
The Portuguese boss had been out of work since being sacked by Manchester United in December 2018.
Mourinho said after his appointment: “I am excited to be joining a club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters.
“The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me.”
Tottenham said in a statement on its website on Wednesday: “Jose is one of the world’s most accomplished managers having won 25 senior trophies. He is renowned for his tactical prowess and has managed FC Porto, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
“He has won a domestic title in a record four different countries (Portugal, England, Italy and Spain) and is one of only three managers to have won the UEFA Champions League twice with two clubs, FC Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010. He is also a three-time Premier League Champion with Chelsea (2005, 2006, 2015).”
