Mourinho revealed that he had almost reached Newcastle

“This is the club that I feel connected to because of my love affair with Sir Bobby Robson, it’s that simple. He has a great passion for Newcastle and his hometown, Durham. He always kept these places in his heart. So under him, I also became a little push.

When asked if he had a chance to follow Robson to Newcastle in 1999, Mourinho replied: “At the time, I was pointing in a different direction. Robson always knew that he was willing to do anything for him. But he also knew that I had a different address. But yes, I had the opportunity to work in Newcastle. “

This summer, Newcastle has recruited a number of brilliant names including Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser, Jamal Lewis, Jeff Hendrick and Mark Gillespie. Therefore, Mourinho believes that “sting” will be a tough challenge for Spurs.

“They brought in some important players. I can also feel Bruce’s happiness when talking about newbies. It has been a good transfer for them so I don’t think Newcastle will have any negative impact at the moment.
