Daniel Levy steps down as Tottenham chairman with immediate effect

George Graham – Oct 1998 to March 2001

Departed within a month of Levy taking over as chairman.

Glenn Hoddle – April 2001 to Sept 2003

Club legend could do no better than a ninth-placed finish in his first full season. A poor start to the 2003-04 campaign proved too much for Levy’s patience.

Jacques Santini – June 2004 to Nov 2004

The Frenchman, appointed after David Pleat’s lengthy caretaker stint, lasted 13 games and left citing personal problems.

Martin Jol – Nov 2004 to Oct 2007

Secured European football in consecutive seasons but just missed out on Champions League qualification. Lost his grip on the job after a disappointing start to the 2007-08 campaign.

Juande Ramos – Oct 2007 to Oct 2008

Pulled Spurs out of their slump, won the Carling Cup – Tottenham’s most recent major trophy until last season’s Europa League win – and secured 11th place. But in late October 2008 the club were rock bottom of the league and change became inevitable.

Harry Redknapp – Oct 2008 to June 2012

Led Tottenham to fourth spot and Champions League qualification in 2009-10. In 2011-12 they finished fourth once more but Chelsea’s Champions League win elbowed them into the Europa League. Redknapp got the push.

André Villas-Boas – July 2012 to Dec 2013

Given a second chance in London after his Chelsea failure but heavy defeats in big matches led to his three-year deal being cut short.

Tim Sherwood – Dec 2013 to May 2014

Sherwood stepped up from the academy and won 50% of games in his short time as manager, but departed at the end of the season.

Mauricio Pochettino – May 2014 to Nov 2019

Appointed over Frank de Boer and it paid off. Oversaw year-on-year progress, culminating in the run to the 2019 Champions League final. But a total of 14 points from the first 12 matches of 2019-20 was not enough.

José Mourinho – Nov 2019 to Apr 2021

Nearly a year on from his sacking at Manchester United, Mourinho was appointed the day after Pochettino’s exit. His confrontational approach and dour football tested the patience of the club and a Europa League last-16 exit at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb proved the final straw.

Nuno Espírito Santo – Jun 2021 to Nov 2021

A long search ended in the arrival of the former Wolves manager. Began with three Premier League wins but, 124 days later, after two hours and 16 minutes without a shot on target in the league, he was gone.

Antonio Conte – Nov 2021 to Mar 2023

Talks in the summer had broken down over the Italian’s transfer budget demands but by late autumn Conte was at the helm on a £15m-a-year contract. Took the club back in to the Champions League but things unravelled in 2022-23 culminating in a furious blast at his players in March. He left with Spurs fourth in the league.

Ange Postecoglou – Jun 2023 to Jun 2025

Postecoglou became the first Australian to manage in the Premier League after signing a four-year deal. Ended Spurs’ 17-year trophy drought with success in the Europa League but that was not enough to save his job after a 17th-place finish in the Premier League.

Thomas Frank – Jun 2025 to …
