Mourinho takes aim at Daniel Levy and 'Tottenham's empty trophy room'

Jose Mourinho has described Daniel Levy's decision to sack him as Tottenham manager just days before a cup final as 'ridiculous'.

The 60-year-old replaced Mauricio Pochettino at the north London club back in 2019, taking charge of 86 games before he parted ways with the club in 2021.

While he was unable to win silverware with the club during his two years in charge, Mourinho did guide Spurs to the final of the EFL Cup in 2021, defeating Chelsea, Stoke and Brentford to reach the final.

His sacking came as a bombshell announcement, with Mourinho being released of his duties following a poor run of form in the Premier League. His departure also interestingly came after it was confirmed Tottenham would be one of the clubs defecting to join the European Super League.

Mourinho has now shed more light on his sentiments towards Tottenham after his dismissal, admitting the decision is one that still does not sit well with him.

'The most ridiculous one was a club that has an empty trophy room sacks me two days before a final,' he said to the Obi One Podcast . 'That was the one that was... come on!

'Tottenham have never won for 50 years. I don't remember when. I am two days before a final and I couldn't do the final. It's the one which doesn't smell well.'

Tottenham's last major trophy came in 2008 where they clinched the League Cup under Juande Ramos.

Mourinho, meanwhile, amassed 27 wins, 14 draws and 17 defeats across 58 league games with Tottenham before departing the club to join Roma in the summer of 2021.

Despite that, Mourinho has previously admitted he does 'not have a close bond with Tottenham' with his relationship with the club breaking down since his departure.
