Mourinho replaced Pochettino, briefly took Spurs to the top of the Premier League, and was then bizarrely sacked in the week before a Carabao Cup Final against Manchester City.
Nuno Espirito Santo was well down a list of successors when he was appointed in summer 2021. He lasted only four months before he was replaced by Antonio Conte.
The combustible Italian, who won the Premier League and FA Cup with Chelsea, took Spurs into the Champions League but left after 16 months following a savage attack on the club after a draw at Southampton, saying: “Tottenham‘s story is this – 20 years there is this owner and they never won something. Why?
“The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here? I have seen the managers that Spurs had on the bench.”
Ange Postecoglu followed, winning that long-awaited trophy, but a finish of 17th place in the league saw him sacked.
Thomas Frank tried and failed.
The record suggests Levy tried all shapes and sizes of manager – none have truly fitted this dysfunctional club.
