Troy Parrott, who has been thriving since his exit from Tottenham Hotspur, has shed light on his experiences working with Jose Mourinho at Hotspur Way.Some extremely talented youngsters have graduated through the Tottenham Hotspur academy over recent years, but not all of them have managed to fulfil their potential at the highest level.However, one man who is now doing that is Troy Parrott, who has been outstanding since swapping the North London club for AZ Alkmaar back in 2024.The Irishman has 43 goals and 11 assists to his name in 79 outings for the Eredivisie club and is only getting better and better with each passing month.Photo by IAN KINGTON/AFP via Getty ImagesTroy Parrott enjoyed working with Jose Mourinho at TottenhamIt was Jose Mourinho who handed Parrott his first senior start for Spurs back in 2019, and the striker admits he enjoyed working with the ‘special one’.The former Tottenham man revealed that the Portuguese coach had constant dialogue with him and made him feel important.When asked about working with Mourinho, the 24-year-old told Voetbal International (as relayed by Sport Witness): “It was very special to work with one of the best trainers in the world. Mourinho spoke to me a lot, which made me feel a hundred times better.“A manager with his status could easily focus only on the basic players. But he’s not like that. Mourinho also took time for the young reserves. I noticed that he wanted to help me in my development. I look back on that with a very good feeling.”Did Spurs make a mistake in letting Parrott go?The centre-forward was rated very highly at Hotspur Way as he came through the ranks, but it took a move to the Netherlands for him to fulfil his potential.Some view Tottenham’s sale of Parrott as a clear demonstration of what is wrong with the club’s academy setup, as he continues to go from strength to strength at AZ.In fact, there have even been some rumours over recent months suggesting that Spurs may look to re-sign Parrott for £30m, having sold him for just £6.7m.READ MORE: Real Madrid ‘prepared to go all out’ to sign £35m Luka Vuskovic from TottenhamThe post Troy Parrott reveals how Jose Mourinho made him feel 100 times better at Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
