‘Mourinho would have been great at Arsenal’ – Sir Andy Murray wanted Portuguese at the Emirates

A proven winner has filled a role in north London at Tottenham, with the tennis icon and Gunners supporter disappointed to miss out on his services

Jose Mourinho would have been “a great appointment for Arsenal”, says Sir Andy Murray, with the tennis icon and Gunners fan left to reflect on what could have been as the Portuguese starts work at arch-rivals Tottenham.

Questions are being asked of Unai Emery’s ongoing presence at Emirates Stadium, with it possible that a prominent coaching post will soon open up.

Various candidates are already being mooted to fill it, but former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho will not be taking the reins as he has moved in on the other side of north London.
