Jose Mourinho's return and West Ham vs Tottenham highlights in pictures

The Special One is back.

Yes, Jose Mourinho has returned to Premier League management - and it's been a whirlwind week, with the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager now the head coach of Tottenham.

The Portuguese has taken over at Spurs following the shock sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, with Daniel Levy backing Mourinho to reverse the club's decline this season - and also win the trophies which eluded his predecessor.

Mourinho's first task is a London derby against West Ham in the east of the capital, and he has made three changes to the last Spurs lineup named by Pochettino.

The new Spurs boss tried to sign Eric Dier (for Manchester United) and Lucas Moura (at Real Madrid) in the past, and has shown his faith by selecting both of them today.

However, Mourinho has laid down a challenge to Christian Eriksen - named on the bench - by saying before the game: "I need to understand what is in Christian's mind or heart and we have to make the right decision for the club."

Scroll through the gallery above for all the best pictures of the Special One's return to Premier League football.
