Huge revelation emerges about Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham
Daniel Levy made the unpopular call to sack Ange Postecoglou last week, but it turns out the Tottenham chairman may never have even hired him in the first place.
A lot has been said about Ange Postecoglou’s departure from Tottenham Hotspur, with questions being asked about whether Daniel Levy was right to sack the very manager who helped end Spurs’ long trophy drought.
A few Tottenham fans have voiced their dissatisfaction with the decision to sack Ange Postecoglou. It has also been claimed that Spurs first-team players were left furious with Postecoglou’s exit and some are considering leaving this summer.
Ben Davies has since come out to reveal what it has been like in the Tottenham camp, stating the news came as a shock to the players who found out through the media.
Daniel Levy didn’t want Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham
Journalist Paul O’Keefe has also now revealed that the appointment of Ange Postecoglou was not one that Daniel Levy was keen on, and that he needed some convincing before going ahead with signing the Australian manager.
Scott Munn, who could be leaving Spurs this summer, is reported to be the one who was truly eager to bring his fellow countryman to N17, with Levy reportedly told to stay out of the footballing decisions.
O’Keefe told Last Word on Spurs (12:29): “Levy did not want Ange as manager. He was not his pick, it was Scott Munn’s pick.
“He had reservations about putting Ange Postecoglou in charge of Tottenham, and he felt that he had to back his new guy and his new regime, because they had obviously built this new infrastructure, and there is no point doing that if you are then going to keep interfering.
“He kept being told ‘you have got to stop interfering with footballing decisions’. He was not keen, and he had to be convinced; obviously, they did the deal eventually.
“I think he is probably sitting somewhere saying to himself, ‘I knew I was right all along’ but, at the end of the day, they still got a trophy and he has ended ENIC’s trophy drought for them. He has a reason to be thankful and just out of sheer courtesy, he should have said something within the club announcement.”
Spurs pushing ahead with Thomas Frank as new manager
With Postecoglou now sacked, Levy is focused on making his 16th managerial appointment as chairman of Spurs.
It has been reported that Thomas Frank is Tottenham’s preferred choice, with talks said to be progressing well, as Spurs look to complete a deal soon.
Sources inside Brentford, as relayed by a former Sky Sports reporter, have also revealed that Frank to Spurs is pretty much a completed deal.
