Kane Backs Mourinho To End Tottenham’s Trophyless Spell

Kane Backs Mourinho To End Tottenham’s Trophyless Spell

Harry Kane has backed Jose Mourinho to end Tottenham Hotspurs’ eleven-year wait for a major trophy.

Tottenham have not won any silverware since beating Chelsea 2-1 after extra time in the 2008 League Cup final.

The North-London club have had some near misses since that triumph, notably the 2019 UEFA Champions League final, where they lost 2-0 to Liverpool at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Spain.

Tottenham also lost the 2014/2015 League Cup final to Chelsea and finished second in the 2016/2017 league season all under the tutelage of Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine paid the price for Tottenham’s poor start to the season when he was sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho last week, and the Portuguese had an encouraging start to life at his new club when he helped them to their first away win in 10 months in his first game in charge against West Ham United on Saturday.

Kane has not hidden his desire to win trophies, and in Mourinho, who has won league titles in England, Portugal, Spain and Italy, the England captain believes Tottenham’s trophyless spell could end soon.

"The gaffer's won at every club he's gone to - there's no hiding away from that," Kane said.

"He wants to win. He's a proven winner. I've made it clear that I'm at the stage of my career where I want to win trophies.

"I've made it clear I want to win them here and it's a big year for us.

"Realistically we look at the Champions League and the FA Cup this season to try and do that, so we'll see how that goes and then from my point of view I'll keep doing what I'm doing, keep fighting for this club on the pitch.

"You could say that (Mourinho could make the difference) because of his reputation.

"It's been three days so, until we build that relationship and see how things get on over the next two or three months, we won't really know.

"But we all want to win. We wanted to win when Mauricio was here, we want to win the same now the gaffer's here.

"But of course when someone's got a reputation like he has, it gives you confidence, it gives you that belief in the team.

"It's almost a fresh slate for everyone now to show the manager what they can do and hopefully the players can thrive on that."
