Tottenham hero Poyet: Club must stand by Mourinho

Tottenham hero, Gus Poyet, has said manager Jose Mourinho must stay to pilot the team for the Carabao Cup final.

Mourinho has seen his Tottenham side lose their last three Premier League matches. Thursday’s defeat against Chelsea condemned the Portuguese to successive home league losses for the first time in his career as a manager.

Talking about Jose, I think the main thing for Jose is he’s already in a cup final,” Poyet told Stadium Astro.

“I think nothing will happen before that final. I don’t want to think that he’s under pressure because they want trophies, they’re in a final, and there’s still plenty of the season ahead.

“So I think it’s a slightly different situation with Frank Lampard, the amount of money that Chelsea spent in the summer.

“But you don’t know what is going on internally, so to comment on that would be unfair to Jose.

“But definitely the cup final helps, because that’s what they’re looking for, trophies.”
