Dimitar Berbatov believes Jose Mourinho is the perfect match for Tottenham following his appointment as head coach on Wednesday.
The Portuguese manager has taken charge of Spurs following the dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino, his first job back in coaching following his exit from Manchester United last December.
11 months on from his departure from Old Trafford and Berbatov believes Mourninho's rejuvenated excitement coupled with his love for London should make the spell a success.
"This new appointment, like every time a new manager comes in, will bring new life to the team, it will shake things up and people will wake up a bit and start proving themselves," Berbatov told Betfair.
"The Spurs players should be excited because they are going to play for one of the best managers in the world and it is a great opportunity for them.
"Mourinho has had a good rest, he was watching teams playing, commentating, he will have drawn lessons and conclusions from his last job at Man United and now it's a fresh start for him. He's taking over a great team with great players and he's in London, the city that he loves, so for me, I think it's the perfect match. Spurs is a team that wants to grow, develop and achieve things and I think it's a good place for him.
"By appointing him, the board were probably thinking 'wherever he goes he brings trophies' and Spurs need a trophy, we talk about it all the time. He has the experience and he can bring them a trophy to feel that victory, and develop that winning mentality and get used to it."
