Mourinho was appointed to replace Mauricio Pochettino as the head coach of Spurs last November following Tottenham’s poor start to the 2019-20 season.
The Portuguese coach seemed to have steadied the ship at North London in his first opening games but injuries to key players like Kane and Son Heung-min has hampered Tottenham’s progress.
In a wide-range interview with Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp on Instagram, Kane revealed he is inspired by the manager he used to watch growing up and insists his team-mates must play above their abilities in order to make the most of Mourinho’s coaching.
"He came in and what you see is what you get," the 26-year-old said.
"He's an honest guy - he'll tell you if you're doing things well or if you're not. If he likes you he'll tell you and if he doesn't like you he'll tell you!”
"From my point of view, I have built a good relationship with him. We talk every few days or so, talk about all different things, talk about the team, when we were playing, what we can do, how we can improve.”
"For me, it's great to work under a manager like Jose. Obviously growing up, watching football, he was a big part of that. It's another opportunity for me to work with one of the best managers in the world.”
"I'm excited to see how that relationship unfolds and see what we can do on the pitch. So far he's been great and I know he's excited to put his stamp on the team when he gets his opportunity.”
"When a manager like him comes in and you know he's won everywhere, I'm sure he has no intentions to not do that at Spurs.”
“From a player's point of view we know we have a top, top manager, so it's up to us to go out there and perform."
