Kieron Dyer has claimed that the All or Nothing documentary proves that Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has been wrongly perceived.

The former England winger told The Monday Night Club on BBC Radio 5 Live that the documentary proved that Mourinho is still a ‘top, top manager’ and his previously questioned man-management skills also stood out in a positive way.

There was some build-up and wait for this Tottenham documentary, which has highlighted their road to the Champions League final, Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking and then Mourinho’s surprise arrival.

Dyer had no doubt that Mourinho was centre-stage during the documentary, as he also thinks that Mourinho has been wrongly perceived despite questions being raised about his ability.

“It is the Tottenham documentary, but you might as well call it the Mourinho documentary,” Dyer told BBC Radio 5 Live. “Fascinating watch that was.

On whether the documentary is interesting to him as a former player: “Yes,” Dyer responded. “Especially after his stint at Manchester United. You kind of thought he lost his mojo.

“But what I have been seeing in this documentary is Mourinho is still a top, top manager. And his man-management skills is something that has been questioned quite a bit. But in the documentary, I thought he was fantastic. Fantastic viewing.”

The Tottenham and Mourinho story has only just started and it could go any which way during this up and coming campaign.

It does seem as though Spurs are hungry to prove that they can win a domestic trophy, whilst Mourinho is also keen to shush his doubters.

The outspoken Portuguese boss has won a trophy at every club he has stepped foot in and if he does the same in North London then there’s no doubt that it would be deemed a success.
