The All or Nothing series, which is due to air later this summer, was filmed as a crew followed Spurs during a tumultuous 2019-20 campaign, which was full of drama on and off the pitch.
The latest teaser, released by radio presenter Annie Mac, shows Mourinho asking defender Japhet Tanganga how to pronounce his name properly upon their first meeting.
The Portuguese coach then says the correct pronunciation of his own first name is with a J sound at the start, rather than a H sound.
“I hate to tell the wrong names, man, everybody says my name wrong,” Mourinho tells Tanganga. “Everybody calls me ‘Ho-say’.
“I’m ‘Jo-say’, not ‘Ho-say’.”
Mourinho gave 21-year-old Tanganga his first Premier League appearance in a January clash Liverpool with January, and the defender – then 20 – was the man of the match.
The fly-on-the-wall documentary will begin with Mourinho’s arrival at the club fewer than 24 hours after Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking in November, and it is likely to feature Harry Kane’s serious injury, Christian Eriksen’s exit for Inter Milan, Eric Dier climbing into the stands to confront a fan, and Hugo Lloris and Son Heung-min’s argument on the pitch.
