Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy Admits Mistakes in Appointing Trophy Managers Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte
Tottenham Hotspur, commonly known as Tottenham, has been struggling to secure a trophy since their League Cup win in 2008. The club’s chairman, Daniel Levy, has now acknowledged that the appointments of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte were errors.
Levy has faced significant backlash from the passionate Tottenham fanbase for his decision to bring in Mourinho as a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino in 2019. Similarly, Conte entered the club after Nuno Espirito Santo’s departure.
It was widely believed that both managers were hired with the aim of delivering instant success to the club. However, things didn’t go according to plan and both were eventually dismissed. Conte even criticized Levy and the Tottenham squad before leaving.
During a fan forum, Levy expressed regrets about these appointments without mentioning the managers’ names. He referred to them as “trophy managers” but admitted they weren’t the right fit for the club.
Levy showered praise on the new and current boss, Ange Postecoglou, describing him as a “breath of fresh air.” He emphasized the importance of playing in a certain style and stated that Postecoglou’s appointment was the correct decision.
Spurs have had a positive start to the season under Postecoglou, winning four out of their first five Premier League matches and currently sitting second in the league table. The Australian manager has received accolades for his style of football, which aligns with the club’s desired DNA.
Levy emphasized the significance of returning to their roots and playing attacking football. He expressed his satisfaction with the straightforward nature of his conversations with Postecoglou, appreciating his honesty and lack of game-playing.
Overall, Levy believes that the club needed someone who understood their DNA and would give young players a chance while building a strong relationship with the fans. From Levy’s perspective, Postecoglou fulfills these requirements and is a breath of fresh air for the club.
