Newly appointed Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has been told by the club management that there is no money to sign new players in the January transfer window and that he will have to work with the current squad in the meantime.

João Sacramento as assistant coach

According to reports, Mourinho arrived early at the training ground to hold a series of meetings before conducting the afternoon training session.
