Tottenham coaches have one fear over Mourinho appointment

Tottenham academy coaches reportedly have one ‘fear’ over Jose Mourinho’s appointment at the club.

The Portuguese tactician was named the new Spurs manager on Wednesday morning after Mauricio Pochettino had been surprisingly sacked on Tuesday evening.

On paper, the appointment of Mourinho at the north London club appears to be a mismatch as they are traditionally a club that plays an attacking brand of football and promotes younger players.

It would be a big surprise if Mourinho was not given assurances from chairman Daniel Levy that there will be money to spend in January, even though the former Manchester United boss has already vowed to use players from the club’s academy.

But that has reportedly not stopped staff at the club worrying that all their good work at academy level will be ruined with Mourinho now at the helm.

The Sun claims: “His appointment has not exactly been greeted with joy by coaches in Tottenham’s academy. They fear the new gaffer will sub the system that recently produced the likes of England internationals Harry Kane, Harry Winks and Ryan Mason.”

Having ‘largely ignored the kids at Chelsea and Manchester United’, there are major doubts that Mourinho will help bring along the likes of Oliver Skipp and Troy Parrott, who are the next youngsters off the production line.
