#THFC #COYS
Harry Kane:

"It's another opportunity for me to work with one of the best managers in the world. So I'm excited to see how that relationship unfolds, and I know he's excited to put his stamp on the team. From a players' point of view we know we've got a top, top manager."
Heung-min Son:

"He’s very kind. He’s smiling, making jokes with the players. I like it, of course. Everyone is positive before games. The gaffer is doing a great job and we are really happy with him. The atmosphere changed a lot with the positive vibes."
Lucas Moura:

"He’s one of the greatest managers in the history of football. It’s not me who’s saying that, it’s the numbers, it’s the facts, for everything he’s accomplished, everything he’s ever done. It’s really been a fantastic experience to work with him."
Dele Alli:

"I think his achievements speak for itself. He is very experienced and he has won a lot of things. It’s a pleasure to have him here."
Ryan Sessegnon:

“As soon as Spurs appointed him, it was exciting. He’s a big manager in the game, he’s won things and as a young player you can only look to improve yourself under him. He’s a manager who obviously wants to win things which is one of the reasons why I’m here."
Erik Lamela:

"I think it’s very good to play for him. I know all the team we know him, we know what he wants and the type of person that he is. He’s showing every day that he’s a normal person, so we are very happy with him."
Gedson Fernandes:

"I know the coach, because he’s a big coach. All players, all young players, want to work with him because he’s one of the best and all of us want to stay near the best. So it’s fantastic."
Moussa Sissoko

“We’re happy with Mourinho. He brought a new freshness. We aren’t going to spit on what Pochettino did, he brought the club to a new level, but now our future is Jose Mourinho."
Ben Davies:

"I think he's been great for the club, having someone of his stature and calibre coming to the club really gives everyone a lift. To have someone like him believe that this club can win things then it's a dream manager to have."
Japhet Tanganga:

"For me, to be the age I'm at and to be working under him is honestly phenomenal. And honestly, to look back, how every long my career goes on for, I'll forever remember this moment, working under such a manager. He's, for me, the best manager in the world."
Eric Dier:

"He’s very personal. He makes you feel very comfortable around him. He’s very approachable. He’s got a lot of energy. He’s at training every day, he's really involved. He’s a winner. He wants to win. I’ve really enjoyed learning new things."
Davinson Sanchez:

"It's special. Everyone wants to learn from him and improve. We know the gaffer is a very good person, always there asking about your family and everything. We, as a team, are very, very excited to keep improving under him."
Toby Alderweireld:

"Jose Mourinho is an unbelievable people-manager. That’s the feeling you get, the feeling I have for him. You don’t want to disappoint him."

"He's a very good people manager. Even in this period, he is doing wonderful and everyone is so happy he's here."
Serge Aurier:

"For me, yes, he is in the three best managers in the world because he has won so many trophies. When you win so many trophies with different teams, I think you are the best. When he speaks, maybe it’s good or maybe it’s bad but it’s this way you need to follow."
Harry Winks:

“The new manager has been brilliant with everybody. From the beginning, I was a little in and out. I had an honest chat with the manager and he told me what I needed to do. It wasn’t anything too in-depth - just an honest conversation, which I respect massively."
Hugo Lloris:

"He’s great. He’s a character. When you get in touch with him on a daily basis, inside a training centre, I think it’s a privilege. When you’re a player, I think it’s a chance to be at his side because there’s so much to learn."
Steven Bergwijn:

"It’s an honour to be here. When I was a young boy I looked up to a coach like Jose Mourinho, now I play for him.”
