JOSE MOURINHO is back in the Premier League after taking over from Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham.

The Portuguese boss is a well-known figure in the English top-flight, having won titles at Chelsea and Manchester United.

He has coached for around nine seasons on these shores, while his recent stints on Sky Sports have made sure fans have not forgotten him.

And with the return of 'The Special One', fans are already getting excited over his comeback matches against his former clubs with Tottenham.

When do Man Utd and Tottenham play each other?

Mourinho was only sacked by Man United in December 2018, after seeing the Red Devils drop to 19 points off the lead in the Premier League.

As at previous sides, he was once again successful in winning the Europa League, but also controversial with his public comments against his own players.

The 56-year-old's new club Spurs have yet to meet in this season – but fans will not have to wait long for this tasty affair.

The two teams will collide at Old Trafford in Mourinho's fourth game in charge at Tottenham on Wednesday, December 4 – where he can expect a rowdy reception.

They will then meet again on March 14 next year in the reverse fixture.

When will Tottenham face Chelsea?

Like with Man United, Tottenham have yet to face Chelsea this season and their first meeting also comes next month.

The sides will face off on December 22 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Mourinho goes up against the side he has spent most time at.

The Portuguese manager won eight trophies in two spells at the Blues, including the Premier League title on three occasions.

He will also be in the opposite dugout to a man he knows quite well, with Frank Lampard enjoying that success under Mourinho's tutelage during his playing days.

The new Spurs boss will be handed his homecoming to Stamford Bridge on February 22.
