'I made a mistake': Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy on hiring Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte

Tottenham's chairman, Daniel Levy, has come clean about a "mistake" he made in hiring managers for the club. He admitted this during an interview with Bloomberg.

Levy said: "I had a good relationship with both Jose and Antonio. They're different. As I said to my fan forum last night, I made a mistake. They're great managers but they're just not right for this club. The way they want to win is different to how we need to win."

"I think our style of football that our fans crave for is attacking football. If that means winning 4-3 then so be it. Whereas, I think their style of football is... they don't mind defensive and winning 1-0."

"And we were in a situation where we were so desperate to win, I think at that moment in time, when I go back 4-5 years ago, we would've taken any way of winning. But we didn't win. And therefore when you don't win, you get a very disgruntled fanbase."

During the same interview, Levy also admitted that he is open to selling a stake in the north London club.
