Jose Mourinho knows how to play the game.
Not so long ago it was Mauricio Pochettino being touted for his job at Manchester United, and now we have come full circle with Mourinho tipped to potentially replace the under-pressure Tottenham Hotspur manager.
Pochettino was always very complimentary of Mourinho’s work and achievements when he was being linked to Old Trafford, and the Portuguese is now showing Poch the same respect, even if a report in the Daily Mail understands that he is monitoring the situation at Spurs very closely.
So how do you say you want a job, without saying it? Like this:

“I play to win. If you finish 7th, 8th, or 9th…that’s not for me. That’s my nature….My next [job] is to fight to win.”
What is the biggest criticism of Pochettino’s tenure at Tottenham? He has failed to win any trophies.
Who wins trophies everywhere they go? Jose Mourinho. And he’s just dropped Daniel Levy a reminder, not that he needed it.
According to ESPN, Mourinho has turned down an offer to manager Lyon to wait for a gig in England.
