3 big challenges for Jose Mourinho ahead of Tottenham vs Olympiacos

Jose Mourinho is about to take charge of his first home match as Tottenham head coach on Tuesday against Olympiacos. The Portuguese manager took over the Spurs last week after Mauricio Pochettino had been sacked and started his campaign with 3-2 Premier League win over West Ham United. Champions League continues on Tuesday and Spurs are set to face their Group B rival Olypiacos. Here are 3 challenges regarding players Mourinho is about to face:

• Christian Eriksen

Mourinho said that he would pick his team based on the future which means Eriksen may be benched as his contract with Tottenham expires in the summer.

• Danny Rose

As Ben Davies is sidelined, Spurs boss has to choose between Danny Rose and Jan Vertonghen at left-back, but that position can be more suited to Vertonghen.

• Tanguy Ndombele

Ndombele is questioned to have the work-rate or endurance to satisfy the Portuguese in the long term as he is believed to become Mourinho’s new Michael Essien. Source- Evening Standard
