The Special One is an emotional man but there was little emotions when he was at Spurs

Jose Mourinho is known as a man of temperament, not a flat-line guy. Most of the footballers he has coached stated that the Portuguese manager loves maintaining a close relationship with his players, knowing more about them personally. All in order to get 100% from them when it matters.

Mourinho has always been clear that he loves winning, loves trophies, and really hates losing. As per some of the footballers that played under him, the 60-year-old is why those players succeeded in their careers. Some players cried when he left their clubs, some followed him to where went next - Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Manchester United - but that cannot be said for his Tottenham Hotspur tenure.

Mourinho's stint at Spurs dramatically ended in April 2021, just days before they were scheduled to play the Carabao Cup final against Man City.

It was a decision that raised eyebrows with supporters, given Mourinho's impressive record in cup finals and Spurs' ongoing search for silverware. Tottenham is the only club Mourinho has failed to win a trophy with of his recent sides.

At a press conference for their Europa League final against Sevilla, Roma boss Mourinho admitted that Spurs were the only club he failed to maintain a good relationship with after leaving.

The Portuguese coach was asked about his Roma future and replied: 'I have established a great bond with all the clubs I have coached. They make fun of me when I say I am a fan of Real, Inter and Roma.

'When I leave the Giallorossi it will be tough. The only team I don't have this relationship with is Tottenham.

'I hope that my words will not be misinterpreted by Tottenham fans but that is the only club with which I do not have a close bond.

'Probably because the stadium was empty at the time of Covid and because President Levy didn't give too much.'

Before joining Spurs, the Portuguese lifted the Carabao Cup and Europa League with Manchester United.

He won his third Premier League title with Chelsea after returning to Stamford Bridge following successful spells with Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

Mourinho has since gone on to enjoy success with Roma, including winning the inaugural Europa Conference League last season.

The former Man United and Chelsea boss has secured a place in this year's Europa League final for the Italian outfit, who will face Sevilla on Saturday.
