Tottenham Hotspur managers under Daniel Levy – in pictures

George Graham watches his last match in charge of Tottenham in the FA Cup against a West Ham team managed by Harry Redknapp on 11 March 2001. Graham was manager when Levy took over in February 2001 and was sacked for alleged breach of contract Photograph: Tom Jenkins/Guardian

David Pleat had two spells as caretaker manager under Levy. The first was in 2001 after George Graham was dismissed, the second after Glenn Hoddle departed in September 2003. Here he takes charge of his first training session during his second spell Photograph: Alex Morton/Action Images

Glenn Hoddle's reign lasted for over two years from April 2001 until September 2003. Here he looks on in despair during his final match against Southampton at White Hart Lane, which they lost 3-1. Hoddle had walked out as manager of Southampton to take the Tottenham job Photograph: Sean Dempsey/PA

Jacques Santini moved to White Hart Lane in June 2004 after managing France during Euro 2004 where they lost to hosts Greece in the quarter finals. He resigned after just 13 games after clashes with the sporting director, Frank Arnesen. Here he is pictured during his first league match in charge, a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, managed by newly appointed Rafa Benitez Photograph: Phil Cole/Getty

Martin Jol joined Tottenham as assistant manager under Jacques Santini in June 2004 and replaced him as manager five months later. Here he shakes hands with Arsene Wenger before his second match in charge on 13 November 2004, which Arsenal won 5-4 Photograph: Andrew Couldridge/Action Images

Clive Allen also had two spells in temporary control as manager of Spurs. He is photographed here in his first match in charge on 28 October 2007 against Blackburn Rovers managed by Mark Hughes Photograph: Phil Cole/Getty

Juande Ramos was next to arrive at the Lane. In his first season, his Tottenham side won the League Cup after a 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the final. However, the following season, they suffered their worst start to a Premiership campaign. Ramos and assistant Gus Poyet were both sacked after this game against Stoke at The Britannia Stadium in October 2008, which Stoke won after Tottenham had two players sent off Photograph: Adrian Dennis/AFP

In Harry Redknapp's first full season in charge, Spurs reached the Champions League after finishing fourth. He was dismissed in June 2012 after Levy had refused to grant him the contract that he wanted. Levy felt that Redknapp's courting of the England job was disrespectful and led to their poor finish to the season which meant they missed out on Champions League qualification Photograph: Tom Jenkins/Guardian

After Redknapp, Levy went for ex-Chelsea manager and former Mourinho assistant, André Villas-Boas. He lasted barely 18 months in charge after a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Liverpool at White Hart Lane which followed a 6-0 loss to Manchester City three weeks previously Photograph: Andrew Couldridge/Action Images

The club's technical co-ordinator, Tim Sherwood, was placed in caretaker charge until the end of the season. Despite a sixth-placed finish and a good win percentage, he was sacked by Daniel Levy on 13 May 2014 and so became the eighth permanent manager to depart under Levy's chairmanship during which time rivals Arsenal have had just one manager, Arsène Wenger Photograph: John Sibley/Action Images

Mauricio Pochettino was appointed as the new manager on 27 May 2014. A statement from chairman Daniel Levy on Tottenham’s website read: 'In Mauricio I believe we have a head coach who, with his high energy, attacking football, will embrace the style of play we associate with our club.'
