Harry Kane hopes Mourinho appointment will help Tottenham end trophy drought

Harry Kane brought the curtain down on the Mauricio Pochettino era at Tottenham by visiting his former manager at his house but is now hoping Jose Mourinho can deliver trophies.An eventful week at Spurs saw Pochettino fired and replaced 12 hours later by Mourinho.The Portuguese, back in the game after 11 months out, then led his new club to a 3-2 win at West Ham on Saturday lunchtime their first Premier League away win since January 20.Kane was a staunch supporter of Pochettino, crediting him with making him into one of the top strikers in the world, and he wanted the chance to say goodbye.Its a week Ive never really had in my career before, he said.It was a big shock on Tuesday night for everyone, the players included, and then it was a quick turnaround.All of a sudden weve got a new manager, one of the best managers theres been in the game, so automatically you have to turn your head towards that and focus on the game.Ive been to see him (Pochettino). I went round to his house and caught up with him the next day.Harry Kane had a strong bond with Mauricio Pochettino (Adam Davy/PA).It was a shock for everyone so I wanted to go and see him, and we had a chat for a couple of hours. It was nice to do that before the new manager came in.For all the brilliant work Pochettino did in making Spurs one of the best sides in England, his five-and-a-half-year stint ended without any silverware, despite two finals and three semi-finals.Kane has never been quiet about his desire to win trophies at Spurs and he is hoping that Mourinho a man with a plethora of titles to his name can help him achieve his goals.The gaffers won at every club hes gone to theres no hiding away from that, Kane said.He wants to win. Hes a proven winner. Ive made it clear that Im at the stage of my career where I want to win trophies. Ive made it clear I want to win them here and its a big year for us.Realistically we look at the Champions League and the FA Cup this season to try and do that, so well see how that goes and then from my point of view Ill keep doing what Im doing, keep fighting for this club on the pitch, and I definitely enjoyed that one today.You could say that (Mourinho could make the difference) because of his reputation.Its been three days so, until we build that relationship and see how things get on over the next two or three months, we wont really know.But we all want to win. We wanted to win when Mauricio was here, we want to win the same now the gaffers here. @HKane loves a London derby! #THFC #COYS pic.twitter.com/EhAaWpXvvy Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) November 24, 2019But of course when someones got a reputation like he has, it gives you confidence, it gives you that belief in the team.Its almost a fresh slate for everyone now to show the manager what they can do and hopefully the players can thrive on that.Eric Dier, whom Mourinho tried to buy for Manchester United two years ago, was thrust straight into a central midfield role.And he believes Spurs are lucky to be able to work under Mourinho, whom he calls the perfect replacement for Pochettino.His record is unbelievable and he transmits that confidence. The way he speaks, you believe it, you feel it from him. I hope we can win a lot of games and do as well as possible, Dier said. I think hes the perfect person to have followed on from Pochettino, in my opinion.Thats the feeling I have. Were really happy that if someone was to replace Pochettino it was him, with that winning mentality.Before we were trying to win trophies and nothing will change. Were still going to try to win trophies, just with a different manager behind us.Personally, I think for everyone, were very lucky to have played under Pochettino and now Mourinho. We couldnt be luckier.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
