Jose Mourinho aims brutal dig at Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy after Europa League win - four years after he was sacked by Spurs

Jose Mourinho has taken a brutal dig at Tottenham owner Daniel Levy after the club ended their 17-year trophy drought.

Ange Postecoglou's side beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao last Wednesday meaning that Spurs will compete in the Champions League next season, despite finishing in a lowly 17th place in the Premier League.

Mourinho managed both sides, winning the Europa League with United in 2017, but he was unable to end Spurs's trophy drought during his 17-month stint in north London.

The Portuguese manager was sacked by club chairman Daniel Levy in April 2021 days before their League Cup final against Manchester City, meaning he left a club without winning a trophy for the first time since 2002.
