Jose Mourinho doesn’t look back fondly at his time coaching Tottenham.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The much-travelled 60-year-old spent 516 days (from November 2019 to April 2021) in charge of the Lilywhites<\/em> subsequently winning 45 of his 86 matches.<\/p>\n

Mourinho’s exit days before the 2021 EFL Cup Final against Manchester City meant he departed a club without winning a trophy since 2002.<\/p>\n

A serial winner, Mourinho has lifted no fewer than eight domestic league titles as well as five major European trophies, however, it’s not only a lack of silverware at Spurs which he cites for the disconnection.<\/p>\n\n

“I hope the Tottenham fans don’t get me wrong but the only club in my career where I don’t have still a deep feeling for is Tottenham,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n

“Probably because the stadium was empty, Covid time. Probably because Mr Levy didn’t let me win a final and win a trophy.<\/p>\n

“We will be connected forever, like I am with all my previous clubs, apart from Mr Levy’s club.<\/p>\n

“It’s the only one, so after that – Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid, Manchester United – all the clubs I feel a connection. Maybe people [will say] you cannot love every club – yes, I love every club.”<\/p>\n

Now deep into his second season as Roma’s manager, the Portuguese tactician is attempting to make further history.<\/p>\n

With a Europa League final against Sevilla on the horizon, should I Giallorossi<\/em> lift the trophy, Mourinho will be the most decorated manager in the history of major European competition, going clear of Giovanni Trapattoni (also with five major trophies won).<\/p>\n
