Jose Mourinho insists Chelsea cannot be said to have a clear purpose under new manager Ange Postecoglou, but he feels Tottenham Hotspur has one.
Spurs finished fifth in Postecoglou’s first season in charge, and since they’ll be playing in the Europa League the following year, the team’s lengthy trophy drought may finally come to an end.
With ten league games played and no losses, the Lilywhites’ season could have gone very differently in the top flight. Some even had the team winning the title at this point. Nevertheless, Postecoglou has contributed to the team’s return to stability.
That isn’t the case for Chelsea, who went on yet another transfer market spending binge without producing a satisfactory return on their extravagant expenditures. Just when it appeared that the Blues had turned the corner, they decided to part ways with former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino, which made matters worse.
Mourinho started off by giving TNT Sports his thoughts on Chelsea, summarizing the main distinction between two of his former clubs. “I’m not sure. “I don’t know,” the Portuguese coach remarked. Tottenham, I’ve got a thought. Tottenham is always vying for the fourth spot, which would be fantastic given the options between fourth, fifth, and sixth. Europa League for the upcoming season. It is, of course, theirs to win.
“They look [to have] stability, they are investing more, amazing club, amazing facilities, such a beautiful stadium, you can feel it,” Mourinho said about Spurs. “I really don’t know, Chelsea.”
Following his acceptance of a proposal to become manager of Fenerbahce, a Turkish powerhouse, Mourinho is getting closer to accepting his next managerial position. The 61-year-old said in a video that was uploaded on the team’s social media pages on Saturday night, “Merhaba [Hello] Fenerbahce fans! Let’s begin our journey together and I’ll see you tomorrow at Kadikoy.”
