Jose Mourinho set to earn a £2m bonus if Tottenham secure Champions League qualification for next season

Jose Mourinho is in line for a £2million bonus if he can steer Tottenham into next season's Champions League.

Mourinho will collect the payout if he can complete what looked like mission impossible when he succeeded Mauricio Pochettino in November.

The Portuguese took the reins with Spurs 11 points adrift of fourth place and they offered Mourinho the bonus because of the importance of maintaining their Champions League status and the scale of the task.

Spurs chairman Levy has a history of rewarding his players and managers for performing well, and given the club's position when Mourinho took the job Mourinho would deserve his bonus if he can keep Tottenham among European football's elite.
