Tottenham managed to get a hard-fought 1-0 win over Everton on Monday night to keep their European competition dreams alive. Still, it was Jose Mourinho who made headlines and ended up stealing the show.
The win against Everton was Mourinho’s 200th win in the Premier League, something that only four other managers managed to do so far. It only took the 57-year-old Portuguese 326 games to reach the mark.
Mourinho won his first 140 Premier League games during his two stints with Chelsea and then added another 40 with Manchester United. He now has 10 wins with Tottenham.
Only Manchester United legend Alex Ferguson needed fewer games (322) than Mourinho to get to 200 wins. Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger needed 332 games, West Ham’s David Moyes reached the mark in 511 games, while ex-QPR boss Harry Redknapp got there after 536 matches.
“Not many managers work in three of the top football clubs in the country, and in the world,” said Mourinho. “I was lucky enough to work for three of the biggest clubs in the country. When you are at one of these big clubs, it’s easier to have these results.”
Mourinho will get a chance to get to 201 wins on Thursday when Tottenham meets Bournemouth. The London club is currently 8th on the standings with 48 points, trailing fifth-placed Manchester United six points.
