The importance of Daniel Levy's next Tottenham manager decision cannot be overlooked. If the wrong appointment is made, Spurs could find themselves on a downward spiral out of any conversations for trophy success or European spots with several teams, including Brighton, Aston Villa and Brentford, on the rise.
In hindsight, the last three choices made by Levy in the managerial department have all been wrong. Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte were known for delivering immediate success with transfer war chests, but neither of those things ended up happening in north London.
It's not like Spurs didn't spend money under both managers, it's just second-choice options were often bought over primary targets - case in point, Conte wanted Alessandro Bastoni and got Clement Lenglet on loan. The man between those two coaching titans was Nuno Espirito Santo, fresh from not being offered a new contract at Wolves and likely not even being in the top ten names Tottenham wanted for the job in the summer of 2021 before he was sacked just a few months later.
