Mourinho to Replace Jol?

Source: Daily Mail

Tottenham have emerged as one of the favourites to become Jose Mourinho's
next stop in his whirlwind managerial career.The Special One parted company with
Chelsea last night and bookmakers Coral predict White Hart Lane could be his
next destination, along with Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. It's no
secret that Tottenham manager Martin Jol is under intense pressure after
saturday's 3-1 defeat at home to Arsenal.And if his men were failed to convince
against Cyprus underdogs Anorthosis Famagusta tonight or at Bolton on Sunday his
position could become untenable.The Spurs board have already been linked with
Seville coach Juande Ramos and may view Mourinho as too good to pass over.They
had talks with the Portuguese manager before he left Porto for Chelsea and were
believed to be close to snaring their target until Roman Abramovich stepped in
with his fistful of roubles.And Mourinho has lavished praise on Spurs in the
past, knows there would be a sizeable transfer war chest at his disposal and
would be able to retain his family roots in London - a city he has fallen in
love with.Barcelona is an unlikely destination as he burned his bridges at the
Nou Camp during the infamous Champions League bust-up and Real madrid have only
just appointed a new man at the Bernabeu helm.Top clubs around Europe will today
be considering a move for Mourinho but a switch from South London to the north
of the capital isn't quite as fanciful as it first seems.
