Jose Mourinho's No 2 Joao Sacramento 'could take over as manager of Belgian club Mouscron' less than a year after joining Spurs as part of the Portuguese's new-look coaching staff

Jose Mourinho's assistant, Joao Sacramento, could be heading for a management job of his own after reportedly being targeted by Belgian side Mouscron.

The side at the bottom of the Belgian First Division are looking for a new manager after sacking Fernando Da Cruz at the weekend.

Sacramento has been in the job less than a year after joining when Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino last November, but could now be on his way to Belgium according to Le Soir.
