Mauricio Pochettino Reveals Harry Kanes Early Career Transformation
Former Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino revealed that Harry Kane initially lacked strong habits in training, diet, and lifestyle when he arrived in 2014. After honest discussions, Kane quickly improved his discipline and mindset.

The change helped him become Tottenham’s all-time top scorer with 280 goals, while this season he has delivered 54 goals in 46 matches for FC Bayern Munich.
For the current generation of football fans, Harry Kane is seen as one of the most complete strikers in world football, but his journey to the top was not as smooth as it may appear today. Former Mauricio Pochettino recently shared details about Kane’s early years at Tottenham Hotspur F.C., revealing that when he arrived at the club in 2014, Kane was only considered the 3rd or 4th choice striker.
At that stage, few could have predicted he would later become Tottenham’s all-time leading scorer. Pochettino explained that Kane had issues away from the pitch in his younger days. According to the coach, the striker did not initially have the best habits when it came to training discipline, diet, and lifestyle, all of which are crucial for success at the highest level. However, after honest discussions with the coaching staff, Kane responded positively. Pochettino praised his intelligence and willingness to quickly change these habits, which became a major turning point in his development.
The improvement was reflected in his career numbers. Kane went on to score 280 goals for Tottenham and surpassed Wayne Rooney as the highest-scoring English player in Premier League history. Now at FC Bayern Munich, the 31-year-old has scored 54 goals in 46 matches this season, continuing his remarkable rise.
