Tottenham reduced the difference with Chelsea from 12 to three points, after Mourinho appointed a successor to Argentine Mauricio Pochettino last November, but the northern team won one orphan in the last five stages, and fell to eighth, threatening its participation in the Champions League for the fifth season in a row.
"It is possible to talk about the first four when you start the season without points, but it is difficult to talk about that when you start with a minus 12," Mourinho said after the last loss against Liverpool.
