Jose Mourinho has been appointed as the new manager of Tottenham following the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss has signed three-and-a-half-year contract with the London club.
The appointment comes less than 12 hours after Spurs parted company with Pochettino on Tuesday evening.
Mourinho, who won three Premier League titles in two spells with Chelsea, had been out of management since leaving United in December last year.
He takes over a Spurs side languishing down in 14th spot in the table, 11 points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.
But what would be deemed a success for Mourinho and Tottenham this season? Our reporters have their say:
Matt Lawless
With that squad - and, who knows, some January reinforcements - he has to win the FA Cup as a minimum.
And with that squad, they could even get to another Champions League.
Whatever happens, finishing in the top four this season would be a success.
But Jose will know he’s not there for that reason alone: he has to win something at all costs.
Mike Walters
Success for any manager at Tottenham, whether it's Jose Mourinho or some bloke from the chip shop, is simple: A trophy.
Ultimately, for all the swagger his teams generated - not to mention the economic miracle of reaching the Champions League final without spending a dime in two transfer windows - Mauricio Pochettino paid the price for failing to exercise the silver polish in Spurs' trophy cabinet.
For a club with pretensions of being a major player at home and abroad, it is laughable that Tottenham have not won a single trophy since 2008.
To put that record into context: Wigan, Birmingham, Swansea and Portsmouth have all won a cup since Juande Ramos delivered the last trophy to Spurs 11 years ago. And Arsenal have won the FA Cup three times.
Mourinho's mission statement will begin and end with winning silverware.
Whether we will want to cross the road to watch his team play is another matter... Mourinho's arch-pragmatism and Tottenham's tradition for flair go together like choc ice and chips for dinner.
Tom Hopkinson
Ending the season in the top four will be the first priority for Mourinho and that will be no mean feat.
Yes, there are still 84 points on offer, so it is attainable.
But they can’t afford many slip-ups between now and the end of the season, and must hope Leicester and Chelsea have theirs, if they are going to get there.
The top six will probably, acceptable, if anti-climatic.
And the only way to cushion the blow of that is to win the Champions League or FA Cup.
Given Mourinho’s lust for silverware, you know he’ll go hell for leather in both those competitions now.
In terms of Tottenham’s final league standings, this season is as close to a free pass as a manager of Mourinho’s calibre will get given that gap between Spurs and fourth.
It’s still going to be an enjoyable ride, though.
Neil Moxley
Success for Jose Mourinho is winning titles and trophies. But success this season for him and his new club will be finishing in the top four. You can bet Daniel Levy has his eyes fixed firmly on that prize.
It will be tall order. Twelve points plus upwardly-mobile Manchester United and Arsenal to force their way past before they can even think about making in-roads.
However, Mourinho will organise.
Spurs have forfeited their place in the Carabao Cup. The Champions League campaign can now be kick-started and don't rule out a crack at the FA Cup as well.
For all the goodwill Mauricio Pochettino generated around him, he still won nothing.
And even though Mourinho supposedly failed at Old Trafford, he still plonked two trophies on the sideboard.
Surely, they'd settle for just one at White Hart Lane.
David McDonnell
Success for Tottenham under Jose Mourinho this season would be a top-four finish and a trophy, the latter something Spurs fans have not been able to enjoy for 11 years.
There are only three points between fifth-placed Sheffield United and Spurs, so a Europa League place would hardly be a cause for celebration.
Ultimately, though, that may be the best Spurs can hope for this term, given they are now 11 points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City and facing a huge task to make up that deficit to reach the Champions League spots.
Against that backdrop, a realistic assessment of success may ultimately be finishing fifth, and building for an assault on the top-four next term.
James Nursey
Despite a nightmare start to the season which has cost Mauricio Pochettino his job, Spurs are still only three points off fifth place.
I think climbing into the top five is entirely possible for Tottenham under Jose Mourinho and would represent a decent achievement to ensure more European football at the club next season.
They have the firepower with Harry Kane upfront and just need to rediscover their team ethos and solidity from previous campaigns.
Neil McLeman
Qualifying for the Champions League - and keeping Harry Kane.
Like Ole Gunnar Solksjaer at Manchester United last season after succeeding Mourinho, the Portuguese has think short term: lift a team in 14th place and 11 points off fourth place and shore up a defence which conceded seven against Bayern Munich.
It will be interesting to see the impact of Pochettino’s dismissal on the Spurs squad who have grown with him.
More spending in the January window and another run in the Champions League will help convince Kane and Co that Spurs can finally win things under three-time Premier League champion Mourinho.
Darren Lewis
With the squad he has at his disposal, anything is possible for Jose Mourinho at Spurs.
Especially with The Special Once determined to restore his reputation - hard won - as the best coach in the world.
He has quality all over the pitch and could yet even coax some more quality out of contract rebels Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Christian Eriksen.
In Harry Kane and Son Heung Min he has two outstanding forwards. In Tanguy Ndombele an all-action midfielder. He will need to bring Dele Alli back to the boil and deal with Tottenham's lack of a right-sided option in the January transfer window.
But on their day Spurs can punch their weight with anyone in the Premier League and the Champions League.
Mourinho, remember, managed to win silverware at Manchester United with an inferior squad. I wouldn't rule out a top four place for Spurs this season (they are only three points off fifth for all the panic about their lowly position).
Nor would I rule out another push deep into the latter stages of the Champions League. The FA Cup? Why not. Spurs have a fine squad. Now they have a manager with a proven track record as a serial winner.
Andy Dunn
Getting to the end of the season without Jose Mourinho and Daniel Levy falling out would be an achievement.
Seriously, though, Champions League qualification would represent a successful season when you consider the 11-point gap between 14th-placed Spurs and fourth-placed Manchester City right now.
Mourinho’s obsession with his personal trophy haul means he will go full tilt at the FA Cup so do not be surprised if Spurs have a decent crack at that.
Jose knows what is needed to succeed in Europe but the current form of this Spurs team suggests they will be found wanting in the Champions League knockout stage even with Mourinho at the helm.
John Cross
Top four. And maybe the FA Cup.
But most importantly, proving that he can play with style and flair in keeping with Tottenham’s best traditions.
In fairness to Jose Mourinho, he did that at times at Chelsea. He didn’t always park the bus. But winning with style is part of the Spurs DNA. The fans won’t accept boring football and winning at all costs. They really won’t.
Tottenham must hope they’ve got the best Jose and not the negative doom monger from Manchester United. The one who looked like a busted flush.
I can’t see them getting back in the title race. I can’t see them repeating last year’s run in the Champions League.
But I can see them making top four. And they’ve brought in Mourinho for trophies so the FA Cup is the last one left. Anything else will be something of a failure by Mourinho standards.
Steve Bates
Stand by for Jose Mourinho to target the FA Cup for Tottenham this season.
A top four spot looks unlikely but not impossible from their current position but the new Spurs boss won't give up on anything.
Mourinho is a winner and Tottenham aren't. In fact they are serial losers when it comes to the big prizes and the new Spurs boss will want to change that mentality - and fast.
That's why he's sure to put a major emphasis on winning a trophy as quickly as possible - just like he did at Manchester United.
In his first year at Old Trafford he won the Europa League, the Carabao Cup and Community Shield with a team nowhere near as consistent or reliable as Tottenham at that time.
Spurs are in a healthy position in the Champions League but winning that might even be beyond Mourinho given his starting position at White Hart Lane today.
When he followed Louis van Gaal, Mourinho claimed United's players were brainwashed by the Dutchman's turgid build-up style.
At Spurs he should only need minor tweaks and won't need to implement radical tactical changes .
His biggest job will be to try and instil the winning mentality that's been missing from a Tottenham team who should be winning trophies with their talent pool.
