Jose Mourinho took over from Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham boss little over a year ago and Moussa Sissoko has highlighted the main differences between the two managers. Pochettino was Tottenham's longest reigning manager in the Premier League era having taken charge close to 300 games in his five years at the helm.
“They are two different managers, at the end they all want the same thing, to win games," he told Stadium Astro.
“I would say with Mourinho, we are more solid defensively and trying to play on the weakness of the opponent.
“With Pochettino we were more playing with the ball, more offensive, maybe more creative.

“Some teams could damage us when we were losing the ball so it’s two different approaches to the game, but they still want the same thing - to win games.”
Tottenham are back in action today when they take on Chelsea with both sides in great form.
Spurs have won four games on the bounce, including an impressive 2-0 victory over Manchester City last weekend.
A draw for Tottenham would see them leapfrog Liverpool to the top of the table after 10 games.
