Mauricio Pochettino reveals how he overcame Harry Kane's bad habits at Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino has shared how he overcame Harry Kane's bad habits during his tenure at Tottenham. The former manager stated that a serious conversation was required to elevate the young striker to an elite level. Goal.com reports on this matter.

When Pochettino arrived at the club in 2014, Kane was struggling to break into the starting lineup. The manager noticed that his lack of discipline off the pitch and his approach to training were preventing him from unlocking his full potential.

The coaching staff introduced a rigorous training schedule and helped change the player's lifestyle. As a result, Kane became the all-time leading goalscorer in Tottenham's history.

Pochettino specifically highlighted that the striker was intelligent and accepted difficult criticism correctly, working hard on himself. According to him, Kane quickly changed for the better regarding nutrition and physical fitness.

The specialist, who is currently preparing the US national team for the 2026 World Cup, did not hide his intention to return to the English Premier League in the future. Meanwhile, Kane continues his prolific performances for Bayern Munich.
