Hoddle is a rare commodity in that he has played for and managed both Spurs and Chelsea.

So his opinion carries considerable weight on the eve of the clash between Mourinho’s new team and the club he guided to three Premier League titles in two spells.

Hoddle reckons Mourinho would not have contemplated becoming the Spurs boss a few years ago but for the club’s upturn both on and off the field.

In a fascinating foreword to the book The Boss — Memories of Bill Nicholson to Jose, published this week, Hoddle said: “First of all we should all applaud the wonderful work of Mauricio Pochettino.

“If it wasn’t for the way he turned around Spurs then someone like Mourinho wouldn’t have given them a second glance.

“In fact, up until a couple of years ago, it would have been unimaginable to think of Mourinho at Spurs.

“So it’s a measure of how well Pochettino has built the team up that the club can attract a manager of Mourinho’s calibre and world standing.

“But it’s not only Pochettino. It’s the fact the club also now have a world-class training centre and a world-class stadium — all the ingredients to make Spurs an attractive proposition for Mourinho.

“The issue with Pochettino was a very simple one. Could he get the team over the line and win silverware?
