Taxes Mourinho (62) congratulated Tottenham on their UEFA Europa League victory. However, he expressed lingering resentment towards Chairman Daniel Levy with a pointed remark.
Currently managing Fenerbahçe (Turkey), Mourinho mentioned Tottenham's UEFA Europa League championship in an interview with Britain's Sky Sports on the 28th (Korea time).
Mourinho stated, "Tottenham has qualified for the Champions League. Of course, the hundreds of thousands of pounds that the Champions League brings will be the best news for Chairman Levy. But for the fans, players, and Ange Postecoglou, winning the trophy is what matters. "
Tottenham triumphed on the 22nd, defeating Manchester United (Man U) in the final of the 2024-2025 UEFA Europa League. This symbolic victory not only earned them a Champions League spot for next season but also marked their first trophy in 17 years.
Mourinho managed Tottenham from November 2019 until April 2021. However, he left the club unexpectedly before the League Cup final in 2021. It appears Mourinho subtly criticized that situation at the time.
Mourinho emphasized, "On one side, I love Man U and have a good relationship with Ruben Amorim, which pulled my heart in that direction," adding, "On the other side, I saw Son Heung-min crying while holding the trophy. I think it was a really special moment for Tottenham fans."
