LONDON (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane has said the club's recruitment of Antonio Conte as manager shows great ambition and leaves the players with no excuses as they try to turn around a mediocre start to the season.
Kane's poor Premier League form was a factor in Nuno Espirito Santo's sacking this week nL1N2RS0L7 after only four months in charge with the striker having netted only once in 10 games.
But the 28-year-old was effusive in his praise of Conte after Tottenham's frantic 3-2 victory over Vitesse Arnhem nL1N2RV3A3 in the Europa Conference League on Thursday -- Conte's first game in charge. "You have to respect that. He will work as hard as he can to improve us as players but it is about us as players, taking it in, learning, doing more on the pitch, doing more in training, doing more away from training -- whether it is recovery or anything like that.
Portuguese Espirito Santo looked subdued on the sidelines during his brief Spurs reign but the 52-year-old Conte made an immediate impact on the fans on Thursday with his energetic touchline presence.
