Mauricio Pochettino has instilled an ethos of responsibility for poor performances at Tottenham, according to Harry Kane.

Pochettino took charge at White Hart Lane in the summer of 2014 and has turned the north Londoners into Premier League title contenders.

The Argentine coach has one of the youngest squads in England's top tier but Tottenham's players have bought into his methods, which include a vigorous fitness regime.

Kane is one of several Englishman to benefit from Pochettino's guidance and the striker is adamant his manager's determination not to make excuses has rubbed off on everyone at Hotspur Way.

"For me he's one of the best in the world," Kane told Talksport. "Not just tactically on the pitch but off the pitch too.

"He's a great guy. He's never one to complain or have excuses. He always looks at himself and what he can do better.

"That's what he has instilled in us [Tottenham's players]. The first thought after a bad game is 'what could we have done better?' not decisions that didn't go our way," Kane added.

Pochettino is now regarded as one of the game's brightest young managers and has spoken of his desire to turn Spurs into a force in world football over the next few years.

The 44-year-old rarely loses his cool in front of the cameras but Kane is adamant Pochettino is not afraid to use a stern streak to get his message across.

"He's very respectful and he likes to know how you're getting on in life outside of football," Kane added.

"He's very passionate. He's calm and collected with the media but like any manager there's time where the players need a bit of treatment - maybe at half time - and he's got that too.
