Former Manchester United coach, Jose Mourinho, has emerged favourite to become Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s new manager following the sack of Mauricio Pochettino.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST had reported on Tuesday night that Tottenham Hotspur sacked Pochettino as their manager.<\/p>\n

The Argentine spent five years in charge of the North London side.<\/p>\n

Pochettino led Spurs to top-four finishes in four of his five seasons in charge, as well as their first Champions League final in the 2018\/19 campaign.<\/p>\n

However, they have won just five matches this season and chairman Daniel Levy said a change had to be made in the \u201cclub\u2019s best interests\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to Sky Sports, Mourinho, who was sacked by Man United last December, is a serious contender to replace Pochettino as Tottenham manager.<\/p>\n

The newspaper reports that RB Leipzig manager, Julian Nagelsmann, is also among the list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
