Jose Mourinho all smiles in Tottenham training ahead of first Spurs home game

Jose Mourinho and his Tottenham squad looked in high spirits as the Portuguese coach put the players through their paces ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Olympiacos.

Mourinho became Spurs' new head coach last week following the shock sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, and opened his account with a 3-2 London derby win at West Ham on Saturday.

The Special One will now oversee his first Tottenham home game on Tuesday night, with Olympiacos heading to north London.

Mourinho is eagerly anticipating his managerial debut at a stadium which he called the best in the world upon his Tottenham unveiling.

Speaking at his post-match press conference on Monday, Mourinho said: "I've been in the new stadium to watch the Newcastle game and I felt it, the relationship between the fans and the players."

Tottenham will qualify from Group B with a win, and Mourinho looked in a good mood as he joked with the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son in training at Hotspur Way on Monday.
