All of a sudden, Tottenham’s managerial search feels a lot like summer 2021. Remember?
Lurching between managerial candidates, stumbling on every hazard along the way only to appoint Nuno Espirito Santo — a good coach but one Tottenham had distanced themselves from at the start of the process.

‘Him’ is Daniel Levy, the divisive chairman who has taken over Spurs’ manager hunt in the absence of a sporting director, after Fabio Paratici’s exit.
