Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy says it was 'mistake' to appoint 'trophy managers'

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy says the club made "mistakes" in appointing "trophy managers" Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.

The pair had both previously won the Premier League as managers but were each sacked by Spurs after less than 18 months following disappointing results.

But Spurs are performing well under new boss Ange Postecoglou and sit second in the Premier League.

"We've got our Tottenham back," Levy said at a Spurs' fan forum.

Levy said he felt pressure to "change strategy" after sacking Mauricio Pochettino, the now Chelsea boss who led Tottenham to their first Champions League final in 2019, where they lost to Liverpool in Madrid.
