December 1, 2019, marked a significant turning point for Tottenham Hotspur, as Jose Mourinho took over as the club's manager, replacing Mauricio Pochettino.
Since then, the Portuguese tactician has led the team to three consecutive victories, catapulting them to fifth place in the Premier League table.
Spurs' 3-2 win over Bournemouth was a testament to Mourinho's impact, and the team's resurgence has sparked excitement among fans.
However, the former Real Madrid and Chelsea boss has revealed that he is already looking forward to his first north London derby against Arsenal, scheduled for April 25, 2020, at the Tottenham Stadium.
"I look forward to playing against Arsenal. I want to play against Arsenal. I know what it means for our fans. But with Mauricio or Emery or Freddie Ljungberg or whoever else, that’s no problem," Mourinho noted.
"I know the big ones and I know that’s a big one. Not just because Arsenal is a big club that fights for the same objectives as we do. But also I know the meaning. And I like it," he added.
