Mourinho assembles new-look Spurs backroom team

Joao Sacramento has been named Jose Mourinho's assistant manager at Tottenham.

The Telegraph says Sacramento has joined Mourinho's new Spurs staff from Lille, where he held the same position under Christophe Galtier.

The Portuguese was previously a technical assistant under Leonardo Jardim at Monaco, before moving to Lille in January 2017.

Carlos Lalin will become Mourinho's fitness trainer at Tottenham while Giovanni Cerra is joining the analysis team and Ricardo Formoshino is joining the club as a scout. All three were with Mourinho at Manchester United.

Portuguese goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos will also join Tottenham from Lille.
