Levy "WHY I SIGN MOURINHO"

 Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, acknowledges that he hired Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte in an effort to win trophies quickly.

Levy clarified their schedules this week at a supporters' forum.

"I want to win as badly as anyone else, but the pressure from maybe some players and from a large portion of the fanbase that we need to win, we need to spend money, we need to have a big manager, we need to have a big name, it affected me," he stated.

"I had experienced a time when we came close to winning. We experienced some wonderful experiences with Mauricio. Though we fell short, we came extremely close and changed our approach.

"The plan called for hiring a trophy manager. You must learn from your errors because we did it twice. They are excellent managers, but perhaps not for this team.

"We want to play a specific way, so if doing so means that winning will take a little longer, maybe that's the best move for us. That is why, in my opinion, hiring Ange Postecoglou was the proper move.

All six of PSG's games this season have featured the young player, who captains the France U21 team coached by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. He will likely play tonight in Le Classique for PSG against Olympique de Marseille.
