Kenyan football fanatics on Wednesday, November 20 stormed social media to demand the restoration of Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama to the Tottenham Hotspur starting eleven.

This is following an announcement by the club that former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho will take over reins at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The London-based side on Tuesday, November 19 sacked Mauricio Pochettino after five-and-a-half years in charge.

“In Jose we have one of the most successful managers in football. He has a wealth of experience, can inspire teams and is a great tactician. He has won honours at every club he has coached. We believe he will bring energy and belief to the dressing room,” said Spurs owner Daniel Levy.

Jose was excited after his appointment and acknowledged the depth and quality he has at his disposal.

“I am excited to be joining a Club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters. The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me,” said Jose.

”Jose is one of the world’s most accomplished managers having won 25 senior trophies. He is renowned for his tactical prowess and has managed FC Porto, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United. He has won a domestic title in a record four different countries (Portugal, England, Italy and Spain) and is one of only three managers to have won the UEFA Champions League twice with two clubs, FC Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010. He is also a three-time Premier League Champion with Chelsea (2005, 2006, 2015),” the club added on their website.
