  Spurs were right to sack former manager Mauricio Pochettino and replace him with Jose Mourinho, according to former England ace Joe Cole.

  Cole – who played under Mourinho at Chelsea – spoke to Sky Sports.

  He said: “Jose has gone into a difficult situation.

  “In the media in particular there is a lot of anti-Jose, people who are very quick to jump on Jose's back, especially for someone who has been as successful as him.

  “You need to look at the job in perspective, I think it had run its course under Pochettino. I think the team wasn't playing well, it needed a change.

  “But it's like turning a cruise ship, you can't just turn it on a sixpence, it takes time. He needs time, he needs to bring the right players in.

  “I think the relationship with Daniel Levy is important, if Levy gets him the players he wants and gives him time I think it will be a success for him.

  “It's just how every time Spurs lose a game….Spurs were losing games under Pochettino, players weren't playing well.

  “I think some of the players may have run their course at Tottenham. They are all great players but sometimes your time is up. They are in a rebuild situation.”

  Willian has vowed to stay loyal to Chelsea amid the coronavirus outbreak, despite links to Spurs and Arsenal.

  The Brazilian's Stamford Bridge contract expires on June 30 but he has assured Blues fans he will remain committed to the cause until the season has finished.

  Speaking to Brazilian TV channel Esporte Interativo on a live Facebook chat, he said: “My contract really ends I think in July.

  And if I had to play on those dates, in these months, I think it would be no problem for me to end the league in a way which would be loyal to the club, as they always were with me.

  “Regardless of a signed paper.

  “But without a doubt, as always, I will always be ready to give the best to my club regardless of my contract situation.”
