Former manager Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham is not a big club

Since the departure of Mauricio Pochettino in 2019, Tottenham have had five different managers.

Jose Mourinho coached the team between 2019 and 2021, but was sacked just days before the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s tenure lasted only four months, while Antonio Conte criticized the club’s board of directors and described its players as “selfish” before being sacked after 16 months in charge.

His successor Postecoglou was sacked last summer, while Frank served less than a year of his three-year contract.

Postecoglou, who was sacked by Nottingham Forest after just 39 days in charge earlier this season, questioned whether Frank was aware of how things were going when he accepted the job.

“You know he can’t be the only problem at the club,” the 59-year-old said.

“It’s a curious club, Tottenham.

“It made a huge shift at the end of last year, not just with me, but with me as well [executive chairman] Daniel [Levy] Leaving too, and creating this environment of uncertainty.

“There’s no guarantee which coach you’re going to get. They’ve had world-class coaches there and they haven’t had any success. For what reason?”

“Thomas comes in and what is his goal? What is the club’s goal?”

“If you’re going to make such a major pivot, you have to understand that there’s going to be some instability there.

“Did Thomas know he was walking into it? I don’t know.”
