Doherty sees similarities between Tottenham boss Redknapp and Nuno

Matt Doherty says there's similarities between Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp and Wolves manager Nuno.

Doherty left Wolves for Spurs earlier this summer.

"They're similar in some ways," he said. "Obviously, Nuno was second-choice keeper at Porto when Jose was the manager so he obviously learned a lot from working with him. They do have some things in common but shape-wise it's different, there are things they do differently on a personal level also."

And Doherty also says the occasionally grumpy Mourinho the public see bears no relation to the Mourinho he works with on a day-to-day basis.

Doherty has settled in quickly at Tottenham as he looks to take the next step in his career

"He's even better because he has that relationship with players on a personal level; he has a great sense of humour, he can joke around with players, he cares a lot for his players. For sure he has been better than I expected."
