Mourinho a new man but remains grounded on Spurs title hopes - Football News - Sportstar

The Hindu  

Having left Manchester United with a bitter taste two years ago, a new social media-friendly Jose Mourinho has quickly rediscovered his spark at Tottenham Hotspur, but despite Spurs' fine form, the Portuguese coach remains grounded. Instead, the man Mourinho singled out most for criticism last season -- Tanguy Ndombele -- is front and centre of the Spurs revolution, while an ostensibly happier Spurs boss has created an Instagram account where he is more willing to poke fun at himself and his players. “If we go there top of the league or with Liverpool top it doesn't change anything for us.” What has changed, much to Mourinho's liking, is Spurs' more proactive approach to the transfer market since he took over. Under Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham was one of the least active teams in the transfer market, but last summer, under Mourinho's watch, Spurs' first-team squad was strengthened with eight new arrivals for an outlay of 175 million pounds.
