Daniel Levy has suggested Jose Mourinho may not be Tottenham manager for the long-term as he doesn't believe in the country's "obsession" with the longevity of a boss.
Mauricio Pochettino was Spurs manager for five years until he was sacked this season and replaced by former Manchester United and Chelsea boss Mourinho.
The Portuguese has never managed at a club for longer than three years in his career and was seemingly appointed with the aim to win Tottenham silverware in the short-term.
Spurs chairman Levy admitted sacking Pochettino was one of the hardest things he's ever had to do, after the Argentine guided Tottenham to a Champions League final last season.
But explained that in Europe chopping and changing managers is common, and suggested it's something he hasn't got a problem with.
"The pressure these managers are under is immense,"Levy told The Evening Standard.
"There aren't many managers that manage a club for five years. [The longevity of Sir] Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger is very, very, very unusual.
"When they first started, the league wasn't where it is today. It is so competitive and intense.
"I think it is very unlikely you are going to see a repeat of that. The Ferguson and Wenger eras are in the past.
"We are obsessed in this country with the longevity of the so-called 'manager', in Europe it is normal every two years to get someone else. It isn't personal.
"They don't even sign five-year contracts. They sign for two years and then another coach comes in."
