The former Chelsea manager won the Premier League in his two stints at the West London club and lifted the Champions League trophy twice with FC Porto and Inter Milan.
Chairman Daniel Levy said about the new coach: “In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football. He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician. He has won honours at every club he has coached. We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room.”
Yesterday, Mauricio Pochettino left Tottenham after five years and a few months after leading the team to the European Champions League final.
According to Levy, “Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing”.
