There aren’t many people at Tottenham Hotspur who will fondly remember the magic of Jose Mourinho. But Troy Parrott certainly does.
It can be said that his latest comments at Voetbal International make some sense. He has nothing but positive things to say about Mourinho’s time at Tottenham.
Sport Witness has already covered the comments This week from Striker. He explained how he chose Tottenham over Everton, Celtic and others at the start of his career.

Parrott joined Tottenham’s academy from Irish club Belvedere in 2017 at the age of 15. At that time he was compared to Robbie Keane and Harry Kane.
Instead, he would struggle to establish himself in the first team, and would make only four senior appearances for Spurs in all competitions before leaving permanently.
However, there was one manager who showed confidence in him. That was Jose Mourinho.
He handed the youngster his Premier League debut during a 5–0 win over Burnley in December 2019. They then gave him three more presentations for a total of four.

It means the Portuguese boss was a big part of the 24-year-old’s career. This is something they would be happy to accept.
“It was very special to work with one of the best trainers in the world,” he said.
“Mourinho talked to me a lot, which made me feel a hundred times better. A manager with his status can easily only focus on the basic players. But he is not like that.
“Mourinho also made time for the youth reserves. I saw that he wanted to help me with my development. I see it with a very good feeling.”
Of course, Tottenham fans are unlikely to share positive sentiments about Mourinho’s time at their club.
They see it as a failed experiment that ended the club’s progressive era under Mauricio Pochettino without delivering the silverware it was designed to bring.
