Davinson Sanchez has admitted he was fearful when Jose Mourinho was appointed as the new Tottenham Hotspur manager. 

The Colombian has struggled for his best form this season, under both Mourinho and his predecessor Mauricio Pochettino. 

Speaking to Blog Verdolaga, as reported by Golombianos, the defender spoke very warmly of his relationship with former boss Pochettino.

But he also made it clear that he currently has a good relationship with Mourinho, despite his early concerns. 

“He is a good coach, I think everyone knows it. He has been a winning coach where he was, he was always involved in important things.

“The relationship has been very good, at the first moment you go with the fear of what you like or don’t like. He has always been very open and attentive, what he has shown he has earned freehand, and that is what it is about, being able to learn from him and it is all thanks to a process.”

There is no doubt that Sanchez is a very talented player but his form this season has left something to be desired. 

Mourinho clearly knows this and has brought in the likes of Japhet Tanganga and Eric Dier to compete with Sanchez at the heart of Tottenham’s defence. 

The 25-year-old has the potential to be a star under Mourinho, who is known for getting the best out of his defensive players. 

It could be that the Colombian needs a full pre-season working with Mourinho to truly adapt to his methodology and develop into the player Pochettino thought he would at Spurs. 

Tottenham fans will certainly be hoping that is the case.
