Jose Mourinho is struggling to get results with a squad currently ravaged by injuries and low on confidence
Tottenham’s 3-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday night has seen Jose Mourinho fail to win his past six matches in all competitions – his longest ever run without victory.
Across Spurs’ last six games, Mourinho has seen his side beaten four times and held to two draws as they struggle in the wake of injuries to key attackers Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
That poor form has ended the club’s hopes of any silverware this seaso, with Tottenham knocked out of the FA Cup and Champions League in the space of a week.
Spurs also now face a real fight to qualify for the Champions League next season with the club currently eighth in the Premier League – seven points shy of fourth-place Chelsea.
The Portuguese tactician has struggled since he replaced Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham, with the club’s 3-0 loss on Tuesday condemning him to his joint-heaviest Champions League defeat and three consecutive losses in the competition for the first time in his career.
Mourinho must now try to end his longest winless run on Sunday when Spurs host Manchester United in the Premier League.
While Tottenham have hit a rough patch over the past few months, the Red Devils have started to hit their stride and have avoided defeat in their last 10 matches.
