The timeline of Tottenham Hotspur managers from Frank Brettell to Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham Hotspur is a club with a rich history and its managers have played a vital role in recent years, so let’s take a look at the timeline of every manager to have represented the proud Lilywhites.
Tottenham Hotspur’s journey through managerial appointments has been anything but dull. From long-serving managers to short-lived tenures, the club has seen a variety of tactical minds attempt to steer the team towards glory.
Of course, some have left as heroes, others as nearly men, while a few barely lasted long enough to make an impact.
The likes of Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw built legacies that still resonate today, while more recent names such as Mauricio Pochettino and Antonio Conte tried to push Spurs towards sustained success.
In contrast, some managers, like Jacques Santini and Christian Gross, had brief and forgettable spells at the helm.
Indeed, with every managerial change, Spurs have experienced shifts in philosophy, recruitment strategies, and playing styles.
Let’s take a look at every manager who has represented Spurs, from the oldest to the most recent.
