Report: Mourinho doesn’t want to be Spurs head coach, wants to be manager
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho doesn’t want to be the club’s head coach any longer as he feels the job title has marginalised him during the club’s transfer activities this summer. Erstwhile Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino had his title changed from head coach to manager two years after his arrival from Southampton, and the Portuguese feels he deserves the same status after 10 months at the club. A manager has more influence at a club than a head coach, but Pochettino was left frustrated last July, claiming his job title should be changed from manager to head coach as he has no influence over Tottenham’s transfer activity. Spurs have brought back Gareth Bale and refused to sell Dele Alli this summer, and those two decisions have been made largely by chairm...

While the likes of AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and Barcelona have also expressed an interest in the Germany international, Tottenham are Rudiger’s preferred destination. However, the Stamford Br...
