Jose Mourinho wasted no time in making a trophy vow to Harry Kane after being appointed as the new Tottenham Hotspur manager.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss replaced the sacked Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday morning, and will take charge of his first game at West Ham on Saturday.
Kane worked with Pochettino for five-and-a-half years, and paid tribute to him on social media after his sacking.
"I’ll be for ever thankful to you for helping me achieve my dreams," he wrote on Twitter .
"We’ve had some amazing moments in the last five and a half years that I will never forget. You were my manager but my friend as well and I thank you for that relationship."
According to The Times, Mourinho sent a text message to Kane after he was appointed manager, telling the England captain that he considers him to be the best striker in Europe and promising him that they'll win trophies together in north London.
Mourinho spoke of his happiness at taking the new job on Wednesday.
“It’s a privilege when a manager goes to a club and feels that happiness in relation to the squad he is going to have," he told the Spurs website .
“It didn’t happen many times. To be honest, the majority of the times we go to clubs and we always think ‘we like some, I don’t like enough’ and you think immediately about what to do to change, what to do to make an approach between your ideas and the profile of the players.
“This is a completely different case, and these are not words of the moment, they are not words of me being the Tottenham Head Coach, these are words that I told and repeated in the last three, four, five years, even as an opponent.
“I always told about the club’s potential, I always told about the qualities of the players, I always told about the magnificent work the club was doing to keep all the good players that the majority of the big clubs in Europe would be looking for.
“I really like this squad. Of course, I’m not going to say names, I’m not going to tell you individuals because this is completely against my concept of what a team has to be, but I like a lot the ability of the squad."
