"I couldn't be happier and if I was not as happy as I am, I wouldn't be here.
"What can I promise? Passion - for my job but also passion for my club.
"It's a privilege when a manager goes to a club and feels that happiness in relation to the squad that he's going to have.
"These are not words of the moment. They are not words of me being the Tottenham Head Coach.
"These are words that I've been told and I've repeated in the last three, four, five years even as an opponent.

Tottenham: Mourinho says he ‘couldn’t be happier’ to join club
On impressions of Tottenham
"To play against Tottenham at White Hart Lane was always hard but beautiful.
"It was one of these places where I used to go with passion but also with respect.
"I always told about the Club's potential. I always told about the qualities of the players.
"I always told the magnificent work the Club was doing.
On Academy
"I really like this squad and looking to the young players there is not one manager in the world that doesn't like to play young players and to help young players develop.
"There is not one. The problem is that sometimes you get into clubs where the work that is below you is not good enough to produce these players so I look to our history and you see that the Academy is always giving the talents that the first team need.
"I look forward to work with that profile.
