Antonio Cassano has criticised Jose Mourinho’s tactics after watching Spurs fail to use their full potential in the game against Arsenal.
The Lilywhites made Mourinho their latest manager last season as they looked to end their wait for a trophy.
He has led them to the final of the Carabao Cup and they remain one of the favourites to win the Europa League.
The Special One is one of a few managers that has won at least two Champions Leagues as well as league titles in four different countries.
Spurs have brought him in to make them a winning team, but his football is questionable and it isn’t the sort to be admired by most football fans.
Cassano admits that Mourinho’s style did win silverware, but he says it makes little sense that with so many quality players that they did so much defending in the game against Arsenal last weekend.
The former Real Madrid hitman told Calciomercato: “No one can say that Mourinho’s teams have played and play well.
“Yet Mourinho has won two Champions Leagues, a genius like Cruyff has only won one. But we can’t compare Cruyff to Mourinho in the least.
“Mourinho’s football will never go down in history, I speak personally by saying that he doesn’t excite me.
“I saw Arsenal-Tottenham, Erik Lamela scored a sensational goal but Arsenal has less strong players than Tottenham.
“Tottenham have an impressive squad but have been defending the whole game except for the last 10 minutes. I can’t think that a coach who has won so much can go on like this.”
