Harry Kane is hoping Jose Mourinho can end Tottenham’s trophy drought.
Spurs last lifted silverware when they won the League Cup in 2008, meaning they’ve gone more than an entire decade without claiming a trophy.
Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino in the Tottenham hotseat last week and his reign got off to the perfect start with a 3-2 win over West Ham on Saturday.
Cascarino predicts Pochettino will return to Spurs one day
The 56-year-old has won trophies in England, Spain, Italy and Portugal during a hugely successful managerial career.
And Kane admits Mourinho’s reputation gives the Tottenham squad confidence of winning silverware in the future.
He said: “The gaffer’s won at every club he’s gone to – there’s no hiding away from that.
“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, and I definitely enjoyed that one today.
“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.”
Pochettino’s five-and-a-half-year spell at Tottenham came to an end following a run of just three wins from their opening 12 Premier League games this season.
During his time in north London, he helped develop Kane into one of the most lethal strikers in football.
And the England captain revealed he visited Pochettino at his home the day after his sacking.
Kane added: “It’s a week I’ve never really had in my career before.
“It was a big shock on Tuesday night for everyone, the players included, and then it was a quick turnaround.
“All of a sudden we’ve got a new manager, one of the best managers there’s been in the game, so automatically you have to turn your head towards that and focus on the game.
“I’ve been to see him [Pochettino]. I went round to his house and caught up with him the next day.
“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.”
