Jose Mourinho is currently enjoying his best spell as a manager since his return to Chelsea a decade ago.
The 60-year-old won the Europa Conference League with Roma last season, and has guided them to final of the Europa League this year, where they will face Sevilla on May 31.
Even Mourinho's less successful managerial stints, such as his time at Real Madrid and Man United, have yielded trophies, but his years at Spurs, from 2019 to 2021, were barren and wholly unsuccessful.
In a recent press conference, the disappointment of these years were summed up by Mourinho, saying that they are the only club he does not hold a deep feeling for, while singling out club chairman Daniel Levy for criticism.
The reality is that..... I hope the Tottenham fans don't get me wrong. But it's the only club in my career where I don't still have a deep feeling, is Tottenham.
Probably because the stadium was empty, COVID times, probably because Mr. Levy didn't let me win a final and win a trophy.

"But it's the only one. So after that Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid, Manchester United, all the clubs I feel a connection," added Mourinho.
"Yes I love every club because I always felt that the other way around, they love me.
"So with Roma, one day it will be hard, it will be hard one day, it will be hard. We will be connected forever like all my previous clubs, apart from Mr. Levy club."
