The Portuguese has always been favourite for the job since Pochettino was linked with an exit, and it will be interesting to see if Spurs go ahead with a move for the Special One.
Mourinho has been without a job since getting fired by Manchester United last December, but has been regularly linked with a return to Real Madrid, while Pochettino has also been linked with the Spanish giants.
Having won three Premier League titles over two stints at Chelsea, league titles with Madrid, Porto and Inter Milan and the Champions League with the Portuguese and Italian outfits, the Special One has a huge c.v, but if he has what it takes to take Spurs to the next level remains to be seen, and it will be interesting to see what happens at the North London club in the coming hours.
