Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier says he's enjoying his football under manager Jose Mourinho.

While admitting it was tough seeing Mauricio Pochettino sacked, Dier admits he's finding his time with Mourinho "enjoyable".

Asked about the impact Mourinho has made since being appointed last month, Dier said: "It's really difficult to talk about that kind of thing. I never wanted to be in this situation as a player, where a manager got sacked whilst I was playing for that club. I've seen it happen at other clubs. You never want to be that player or that squad that goes through the same thing.

"That was difficult to accept at the time, because as players we know, at the end of the day, it's us who play and it's us who need to perform. I would never want to mean any disrespect to Mauricio and everything that he did for the club and for myself and for the team.

"But in a sense when a new manager arrives or in any walk of life there's new stimulus, you have to think about different things. This manager wants some things in different ways, some things the same so that all gives you a new stimulus that you have to try and learn and improve at so you have to change, which is always good for your mind, so it's been enjoyable to learn new ideas and see a certain perspective on different situations within a game and approach things differently. In that sense, it's been very enjoyable.

"I feel very lucky to have worked under Pochettino and now Mourinho. For me personally, I just see it as a great opportunity to learn from another great manager, one of the best there's ever been. It's a great opportunity to learn new things, see how he works and try to improve myself."
