  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Mourinho's time in charge of Tottenham last time proved unsuccessful, with the club missing out on Champions League qualification in 2019/20 before failing to threaten again in the 2020/21 campaign. He was famously sacked a week before the club's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, which they lost 1-0.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Postecoglou's time at Tottenham is heading in a similarly disappointing direction after a dreadful Premier League campaign that sees them entrenched in the bottom half of the table. Thursday's Europa League quarter-final second leg away to Eintracht Frankfurt could well decide his immediate future.
