Jose Mourinho is convinced he can bring silverware to Tottenham and has vowed to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

The 56-year-old has taken over from Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs following the Argentinian's ruthless sacking earlier this week and has declared himself happy at being back in management.

While his immediate concern is arresting a slump that has seen the north London club slip to 14th in the Premier League, his wider brief will be to end the trophy drought which stretches back to 2009.

"I tried to buy some of them for different clubs and I couldn't. Some of them I didn't even try because you know how impossible it is.

"But I like this squad very, very much. I like the players very, very much.

"It's not something new that I said that. It's not like, 'Ok, now you are their manager you are saying that because you want to look nice'. That's not the point."
