Daniel Levy revealed on a fan forum that he had made recruiting mistakes in the past.
Tottenham were a legitimate team under Mauricio Pochettino, who had spent years building a top-tier squad.”They consistently ended in the top four, played attractive football, and had their own personality.
They also came close to winning trophy several times during his tenure, and in his final year, they reached the Champions League final only to lose to Liverpool.Pochettino was sacked as a result, and Levy has now stated that the club’s approach has shifted to appointing ‘win now managers’ rather than project managers.
When asked about what has happened in recent seasons and the lack of cutlery that has resulted, Levy stated (via ROTS1882):
“We were so close with Poch, but we changed strategy and hired win-now managers, which didn’t work because they were bad hires.”So perhaps it will take longer, perhaps we need this strategy, which is why I recruited Ange.”
They employed Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, both of whom were unsuccessful with the club.Rather, the club lost its identity under Pochettino and played some of the league’s most unappealing and uninspired football.
Because of their terrible man management, the mood in the camp suffered.After firing Conte, the club took its time in finding a replacement.
They were associated with some major names, such Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique, but ended up choosing Ange Postecoglou, who was possibly the least popular of the bunch.
And the decision has proven to be a stroke of genius. Ange Postecoglou has made an immediate impression at the club. He instantly improved the mood.
He has formed a unique bond with the management, the players, and the fans. The players enjoy playing for him, and they are producing some of the most visually appealing football in the league. All of this in a few of months.
And, while Ange has yet to totally rebuild the team, the players he has brought in have been world-class.For the first time since Pochettino’s arrival, the old Tottenham seems like it’s back, and there’s no doubt about the future.
