Ange Postecoglou's answer about Daniel Levy speaks volumes about their Tottenham relationship

Ange Postecoglou was asked about former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy at the press conference as he was unveiled as Nottingham Forest head coach

Ange Postecoglou admitted he didn't have a great deal of interaction with Daniel Levy at Tottenham as both men enter new chapters in their lives.

Levy appointed the Australian in the summer of 2023 and after finishing fifth in his first season following the sale of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich just days before the opening fixture, Postecoglou won the Europa League in his following campaign to end the club's 17-year-old wait for a trophy in the chairman's tenure.

However, the Spurs head coach's decision to prioritise that European run over the Premier League with a weakened squad was not a popular one among the powers-that-be at the club and Tottenham duly finished 17th in the table with second string starting XIs. Within a few weeks of the celebrations surrounding the Lilywhites' first European trophy in 41 years, Postecoglou was sacked and replaced by Thomas Frank .

Just three months on and now Levy finds himself out of the door after the Lewis family pushed through plans to modernise the hierarchy structure of the club and the 63-year-old stepped down after almost a quarter of a century at the helm.

Postecoglou is now the head coach of Nottingham Forest and was asked what he made of Levy's departure from the club.

"I don't think it's the kind of forum for me to speak about that at length," he said. "Again, I didn't have a great deal of interaction with Daniel. I tend to get on with my daily business and do what I need to do.

"He was there for a very long time. He invested a hell of a lot in the football club in terms of building it up to where it was.

"Obviously, he appointed me so I've got to be thankful for that. Hopefully I repaid him with winning a trophy which they haven’t had in a long time."

Postecoglou also spoke about his own departure from Spurs and how he figured his time in north London was coming to a close.

"It wasn't great, I knew it was coming so it wasn't a surprise," he said. "I knew it was coming a fair way before the final, but we won it and had the parade and had a great three days and I didn't want to tarnish that, but I knew it was done.

"From my perspective, I had the chance to process it. Whether I feel it was unjust, other people make those decisions, they make those determinations. That's up to them, you have to ask them their own reasoning for it.

"What I do know is I had two years where it was very, very challenging but we were with some fantastic people in the football department."

The 60-year-old added: "The supporters, we've put through some tough times, but there isn't a Spurs supporter that I come across now that doesn't want to hug me and take me home for dinner.

"So I must have done something right. I think ultimately that's what we do it for. I'm very proud of what we achieved there. It will always take a special place in my heart.

"How it ended, I don't really think about it a lot. To be fair, I've done it a couple of times myself. I left Celtic and I'm sure that they were disappointed when I left. You understand that's part of the business we're in. But that's okay. It's allowed me now to move into this (Forest) and maybe that's happened for a reason."
