Mourinho was drafted in to replace Mauricio Pochettino after the latter failed to impress at North London six months after guiding Spurs to their first Champions League final albeit a defeat at the hands of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Mourinho somewhat steadied the ship as he guided Tottenham to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League.
The 57-year-old has built a reputation across Europe, winning trophies everywhere with the likes of FC Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
The Lilywhites have not won a trophy since 2008 when they hoisted the League Cup, but Modric, who played for Tottenham Hotspur between 2008 and 2012, believes Mourinho has what it takes to end that trophy drought.
“Tottenham did a great thing to appoint him as a manager because he is a proven winner,” said Luka Modric, speaking to The Times.
“In Italy, England, and Spain he won things and he knows how to win. I am hoping he manages to do the same thing with Spurs. It’s a great thing for Tottenham to be able to bring in someone like him.
“He wins everywhere. Even when people say, ‘Ah, he didn’t win in Manchester [United]’. He won the Europa League and other cups [League Cup in the 2016-17 season] because of his quality.”
