It has been an eventful 12 hours at Tottenham Hotspur as they lost and gained a head coach quite literally overnight.
On Tuesday evening it was announced that Mauricio Pochettino had been sacked from his position at the north London club after five and a half years in charge.
That came after Spurs had managed just three wins and five draws from their opening 12 Premier League matches of the season, a record good enough only for 14th place.
Their Champions League campaign was also not without its problems, epitomised in a 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich earlier this season.
Just as the football world was reeling from the surprise departure on their way into bed, we all emerged the next morning to an arguably even more seismic development.
Jose Mourinho is back.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United manager was appointed Spurs’ new head coach in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Whether he has the desired effect there, after his two most recent managerial spells ended sourly, remains to be seen.
However, it should all make for interesting viewing when his new side travel to West Ham in Gameweek 13…
“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.” – Jose Mourinho
