Why Ange Postecoglou is not another Nuno Espirito Santo if Levy makes him next Tottenham manager

Much has been made of the potential appointment of Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham's next manager. Amid previous links with Mauricio Pochettino, Julian Nagelsmann and Arne Slot, the Celtic boss is now the odds-on favourite to succeed Antonio Conte.

Some fans are open-minded to the 57-year-old coming in, while some have reservations about appointing a manager who has extremely limited experience of working in Europe since starting his managerial career in the mid 90s. Tottenham opting for glamourous, big-name managers in Conte and Jose Mourinho didn't work, though, and a change from the their previous approach could be key to getting Spurs back on the rise and playing the eye-catching football that supporters desire.

Two years on from the club turning to Nuno Espirito Santo in wake of Mourinho's dismissal, a number of fans have compared Postecoglou's possible arrival to that of Espirito Santo. Perhaps having a point with both managerial searches surpassing two months and others heavily linked with the job first, the comparisons between both are lazy and unfair to Postecoglou.
