Tottenham news: Jose Mourinho 'sucked Spurs' culture' but Antonio Conte is 'incredible'

Jose Mourinho's time as Tottenham Hotspur manager has been slammed by sources inside the club.

It comes as Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on Spurs and their manager Antonio Conte following their rise into the Premier League's top four.

And tennis star Emma Raducanu has revealed why she donned a Tottenham kit while training in Stuttgart recently.

Mourinho arrived in north London to much fanfare, raising the expectation that Spurs would finally manage to end their trophy drought which dates back to the 2008 League Cup. But he was sacked just days before the EFL Cup final in 2021 as the club's league form unravelled.
