Tottenham Spurs and Jose Mourinho parted their ways on 19 April 2021, Mourinho was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after seventeen months in charge of the club. It is rather a shock as Spurs are in the final of the EFL Cup and he was the one responsible taking the team through. There were rumours that he became unpopular in the dressing room which finally led to his departure.
Ryan Mason a former Tottenham Hotspur player has been appointed as an interim manager of the club. Harry Kane though is the first player to come out and speak about his relationship with his previous Gaffer. Kane said the following in an interview- “I was surprised (by Mourinho’s sacking) – I’ll be totally honest. I came in that morning and probably found out 5-10 minutes before it was announced”
Kane further added- “I had a great relationship with Jose, I wish him all the best for whatever his next job is, but he knows as we know football can be cut-throat and we just have to look forward. We have a big final to prepare for now and we’re looking forward to that.”
Kane also talked about his new Gaffer and said “Ryan’s been great. It’s obviously been strange for him, a bit of a rollercoaster coming in late notice and taking on the job. I thought he’s done incredibly well; how he’s handled the whole situation, how he’s handled the boys and obviously getting his first win against Southampton was a massive moment.”
With EFL cup final on Sunday and with just one game’s experience it would be a big task for the club and the coach to get a positive result. If Spurs win the EFL Cup it would be their first major trophy after 2007-2008 season.
