The Portuguese manager has been hired on a long-term contract which ends at the end of the 2022/2023 season and comes after he was linked with the manager’s job at the Emirates Stadium.

According to The Times, Mourinho had dinner with Raul Sanllehi about taking over from Unai Emery, whose position as manager is under threat according to the Sun.

The Spaniard has overseen a horrible start to the season for the Gunners, with the club winning just four of their opening 12 Premier League games, leaving them eight points off top four.

Mourinho’s last job was at Manchester United, where the 56-year-old was sacked following just over two years in charge.

However, it seems that Mourinho will not be sat in the home dugout at the Emirates Stadium as fans took to Twitter to react with joy to his appointment at Spurs.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Gooners:

Glad he’s not coming near Arsenal!

Good. Now we get Allegri. Me of this Mourinho talk, I was never here for it.

I’m happy about it… I didn’t want him. I think he’s boring and arrogant. Living in the past…. Perfect for spurs to continue the tradition of an empty cabinet
