– Jose Mourinho has admitted he wants to face Arsenal as Tottenham’s boss
– Unai Emery won the first north London derby while Pochettino was manager
– Mourinho has since won three straight games as Spurs moved to fifth on the table
Jose Mourinho has said he is looking forward to facing Arsenal as manager of Tottenham.
The Portuguese gaffer has turned things around since replacing Mauricio Pochettino as manager, winning all three games.
Spurs miraculously moved to fifth on the Premier League table following their 3-2 over Bournemouth.
However, the former Real Madrid and has revealed that he is already looking forward to being involved in his first ever north London derby.
“I look forward to playing against Arsenal. I want to play against Arsenal. I know what it means for our fans. But with Mauricio or Emery or Freddie Ljungberg or whoever else, that’s no problem,” he noted.
“I know the big ones and I know that’s a big one. Not just because Arsenal is a big club that fights for the same objectives as we do. But also I know the meaning. And I like it,” he added.
Be that as it may, the former Chelsea and Man United boss will not have the opportunity to face Arsenal until Saturday, April 25, 2020, in a Premier League fixture at the Tottenham Stadium.
