Now ESPN have reported that Mourinho told his new squad,

"Back me and I'll make you winners."

Spurs fans were loving his comments on Twitter as they haven't won a trophy in over a decade.






Mourinho also told his new players that they are 'a talented squad capable of achieving great things' and that he wants to win trophies.

The 56-year-old has also informed his new squad that he is well prepared and will hold a series of one-to-one interviews with them in the coming days.

ESPN also state that Mourinho displayed his trademark charisma which was a far cry from his forlorn figure in his final months as Manchester United manager.

Mourinho's reign as Spurs manager will begin on Saturday afternoon as his side travel to West Ham.

Many have doubted if he has changed as a manager after the way his last two jobs at Chelsea and United ended in high profile sackings.

In his first press conference on Thursday afternoon, he told the media:

"I am humble. I am humble enough to analyse my career, and the problems. There was no one else to blame. I went really deep in that analysis.


"These last 11 months have been used to think & to prepare. You never lose your DNA. You are what you are - for the good things & the bad. I know in my career that I've made mistakes. "I'm not going to make the same mistakes. I'll make new mistakes."

Where do you think Spurs will finish in the Premier League under Mourinho?
