Furious Jose Mourinho 'searching for mole' in Tottenham dressing room

Jose Mourinho is fed up with his players complaining about his tactical methods, and has begun searching for the leak within his Tottenham squad.

The Spurs boss is in a difficult situation at the moment, and could well lose his job at the end of the season.

Reports recently have suggested Daniel Levy will part ways with the two-time Champions League-winning coach if he doesn't secure a top-four finish.

Terrible form on the pitch has been made worse by numerous Spurs players complaining about his tactics.

A recent report in The Athletic claimed players were unhappy with the reactive and negative approach they had to adopt.

And according to the Daily Mail, Mourinho wants to find out who the "moles" inside his squad are.

He was apparently unhappy about the fact his players went around complaining about the 'boring and predictable' training methods.

Spurs have spent this season playing on the back foot and letting teams attack them before going on the counter.

Mourinho recently hit back at complaints over his training methods, saying they are second-to-none.

And the Portuguese boss doubled down this week by firing back at his critics, saying it was unfair to pick fault with his training methods.

Mourinho, speaking to a virtual Q&A with sponsors AIA, compared himself to a rocket scientist during the outburst.

He said: "I don't think anybody is going to discuss rocket science with the guys from NASA, with everybody around the world.

"They think they can discuss football with one of the most important managers in the game.

"That's the beauty of football. I got used to it. I appreciate that. So that's fine for me."
