Daniel Levy admitted that hiring big managers like Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte at Tottenham was a mistake.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Spurs chairman was all praise for Postecoglou who has kept the club unbeaten in the Premier League thus far and are second on the league table. Levy appreciated Postecoglou's straightforwardness and honesty and went on to say that the former Celtic boss is like a 'breath of fresh air' at the club.
"Honestly, there was a lot of pressure on me to bring in somebody that was a big name. I just wanted somebody who understood our DNA, would play attacking football, that would give young players a chance, believe in the academy, would build a relationship with the fans and understand the resources that we have and don't have as a club and be part of a team. Ange, I have to say, is a breath of fresh air.
"The strategy was 'let's bring in a trophy manager'. We did it twice and look you have to learn from your mistakes. They're great managers but maybe not for this club. We want to play in a certain way and if that means it has to take a little bit longer to win maybe it's the right thing for us. That's why bringing Ange in was from my point of view the right decision.
