New Tottenham boss Mourinho makes first backroom appointments

New Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho has begun assembling his backroom team with the appointments of Joao Sacramento and Nuno Santos from Lille.

Mourinho was confirmed as Spurs boss on Wednesday morning, just 12 hours after Mauricio Pochettino was dismissed after five-and-a-half years in charge at the club.

Pochettino’s coaching team of Jesus Perez, Miguel D’Agostino and Antoni Jimenez also left, meaning Mourinho has to bring in an entirely new set of backroom staff.
