Mourinho is eyeing a title challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Spurs had been tipped to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool this season. Instead they are currently 14th in the Premier League and 20 points behind leaders Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>Mourinho&#8217;s first job is to get Spurs up the table by winning games and possibly begin competing with the likes of Chelsea and Leicester City for Champions League qualification. In any case, Mourinho believes he can oversee a title challenge next season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jose Mourinho on Tottenham: &quot;We can\u2019t win the Premier League this season.

The style of play must be adaptive to the club culture and also the players here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Generally, Pochettino is considered to be a manager who embraces attacking flair, while Mourinho is keen on defensive details. It will be interesting to see how he combines those styles, if that is indeed the aim.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hashtag United: How YouTube Works For Us...

The soundbites are back<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There is a reason Spurs had to turn down a number of requests from reporters who wanted to attend the press conference. The media room was full because Mourinho can always be relied on to generate headlines.<\/p>\n<p>Today was no different.
