Tottenham crisis – who is responsible for the club’s suffering?

Mourinho replaced Pochettino, briefly led Spurs to the top of the Premier League, and was then bizarrely sacked in the week before the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.

Nuno Espirito Santo was at the top of the list of successors when he was appointed in the summer of 2021. He lasted just four months before being replaced by Antonio Conte.

The fiery Italian, who won the Premier League and FA Cup with Chelsea, led Tottenham to the Champions League but left after 16 months after a ferocious attack on the club after a draw with Southampton, saying: “The story of Spurs is: 20 years there is this owner and they never win anything. Why?”

“The fault lies only with the club, or with every coach who stays here? I have seen coaches who had Tottenham sitting on the bench.”

Ange Postecoglou followed, winning the long-awaited trophy, but a 17th place finish in the league led to his sacking.

Thomas Frank tried and failed.

Records show that Levy tried all shapes and sizes of managers, but none were truly suitable for this dysfunctional club.
