Jose Mourinho makes a surprising Tottenham prediction

Jose Mourinho has made a surprising admission about Tottenham. He's predicted them as favourites to win the UEFA Europa League this season.

Jose Mourinho is like Marmite. You either love him or you hate him.

Tottenham fans are just as divided as any other fanbase. Some love him for his time spent in North London but others look at him as a special manager who didn't bring his special spark to the club.

Despite working with some great players, Jose Mourinho never won anything at Tottenham Hotspur. He has also made some questionable comments about Tottenham, which is why the opinion is divided.

However, those Tottenham fans on the fence might look towards Jose Mourinho in a new light after his most recent prediction.

Jose Mourinho makes a surprising Tottenham prediction

According to Metro, Jose Mourinho believes Tottenham can win the UEFA Europa League this season. In fact, the former Tottenham boss said that the two favourites are Man United and Spurs.

In his own words, Jose Mourinho said: "If I have to say now which are the two biggest candidates to win the Europa League, I think it’s easy – Man United and Tottenham."

Jose Mourinho then went on to justify his decision, claiming that the Premier League is a different level of quality to other leagues.

Continuing, Jose said: "The Premier League is a different level of quality, it’s a different level of intensity, it’s a different level of pace, it’s a different level of tactical culture, it’s a different level of everything."

Of course, Jose Mourinho is a legendary manager. Whether you love him or hate him, nobody can deny this. He has managed the best clubs in the world and he's been successful in every league.

Therefore, nobody understands European football quite like Jose Mourinho. He is a master of every country he's ever managed him.

Tottenham fans hope that this gives him a crystal ball level of insight. If his prediction about Tottenham winning the Europa League is right, then no Tottenham fan will turn up their nose.

Ange Postecoglou has spoken pretty religiously about being successful in his second season. He has evidence to back this up at other clubs but it isn't guaranteed.

The Europa League does present a great opportunity to Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham. Winning the UEL grants Tottenham with a trophy and a free ticket back into the Champions League, so it shouldn't be overlooked.
