Tottenham want to appoint Jose Mourinho as their new manager if they sack Ange Postecoglou this summer, according to Fichajes.net.
The north London side suffered a horrific domestic season under the Australian this season as they sit in 16th place with 18 defeats from their 33 games in the Premier League, although they have reached the Europa League semi-finals too.
Despite that progress in Europe, it's expected that Postecoglou will leave the club in the summer due to the poor results and it's now being reported that the Lilywhites are looking to bring back a familiar face to get them back on track.
Tottenham Want to Appoint Mourinho
Portuguese coach has admirers in club
Despite leaving Tottenham in difficult circumstances back in 2021, just days before the team were due to compete in a Carabao Cup final, it's believed that Mourinho still has admirers within the hierarchy of the club.
Since leaving Spurs, Mourinho has managed at AS Roma and won the Europa Conference League while he is now in charge at Fenerbahce - but he has been embroiled in controversy several times in Turkey and is reportedly looking to leave.
That has opened the door for Tottenham to move and begin the process for his return, and the possibility is now seen as something that is a 'real possibility'.
Mourinho, who has been described as 'one of the best managers ever', is known as a serial winner who has lifted silverware at every club he has been at - except for Tottenham. He is also yet to win a trophy with Fenerbahce, although he hasn't left yet.
The Portuguese coach is known for his high standards and tough-love approach, something that some fans in north London may feel is needed with this current squad comprising of lots of senior internationals as well as some top young talent.
Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola and Fulham's Marco Silva are believed to be top contenders for the role currently, while owner Daniel Levy has reportedly made Mauricio Pochettino his number one option to replace Postecoglou this summer.
