Jose Mourinho’s appointment as the latest manager of AS Roma should have been good news for Tottenham, considering they will save some money from paying his wages.
However, a new revelation shows that Spurs will still pay him more than the Italians are doing until his Tottenham contract expires.
Mourinho was one of the best managers in the world and Spurs took a huge decision to make him their boss in 2019.
He was being paid £15m per season to help the Lilywhites end their wait for a trophy and to earn a return to the top four.
His reign ended a few weeks ago after the club decided he can no longer help them achieve their goals.
AS Roma has made him their newest boss starting from next season, 15 days after he got the sack at Spurs.
Sun Sports says Roma is only paying him £5m per season and that means Spurs will still shoulder the balance of £10m from the deal he signed with them until the contract expires.
The report says this is because of the agreement he had with Tottenham as a part of his severance package.
