LONDON - Harry Kane said Tottenham Hotspur had shown great ambition by appointing Antonio Conte as head coach and added that the Italian could make him a better player.

Conte replaced Nuno Espirito Santo earlier this week and guided Spurs to victory in their opening game on Friday (5/11) with a 3-2 Europa Conference League win over Vitesse Arnhem.

"Everyone can see how he has gone as a coach. He will work as hard as he can to improve us as players," Conte said as quoted by ESPN , Friday (5/11).

Kane is not on the scoresheet and has struggled to regain his best form this season and tried to force a move to Manchester City but failed. He realized that there were still many things that needed to be improved.

"I will continue to work and I am very excited to work with this manager, I am sure he can improve me and that is an exciting thing," he said.

Nuno was sacked after just 17 games in charge but players have also been criticized for his poor form having lost five of their first 10 Premier League games. He expects a lot of changes Conte brings ahead of the trip to Everton.

"He definitely brings a lot of passion, a lot of determination, be it on the training pitch or in meetings, in the dressing room," he said. "He has won trophies at the highest level with the biggest clubs so everyone is excited to learn."
