Jose Mourinho will earn double the amount Mauricio Pochettino was on at Tottenham, according to reports.
Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho was announced as Pochettino’s successor on Wednesday morning after Tottenham sacked the Argentinean on Tuesday evening.
The Portuguese coach, who won three Premier League titles in two spells with Chelsea, has signed three-and-a-half-year contract with the north London club.
On taking the Spurs job, the 56-year-old said: “I am excited to be joining a club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters.
“The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me.”
The Daily Mail claims that Mourinho will ‘earn almost double the wage’ that Pochettino was getting at Tottenham and will take home £15million a year.
The report adds that they expect Tottenham to ‘back’ Mourinho in the transfer market considering how much the club is ‘paying’ Mourinho.
Pochettino was dismissed after five-and-a-half years in charge, less than six months after he took Spurs to the Champions League final, with the club lying 14th in the Premier League table after the opening 12 matches.
Mourinho, who also managed Porto, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, has turned down a number of opportunities to coach abroad, including with clubs in China, Spain and Portugal, since his Old Trafford exit.
His first match in charge will be the London derby away to West Ham on Saturday.
