Concluding The Article :
Tottenham has played a huge role in shaping modern Real Madrid by providing them with two of their biggest stars—Gareth Bale and Luka Modrić. Both players were instrumental in Madrid’s Champions League dominance, helping them secure multiple UCL titles and re-establish themselves as Europe’s most feared club.
But now, Spurs need to focus on their own success. The club has built some great squads, but without a world-class manager like Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, or Klopp, they’ve struggled to take that final step. Pochettino came close in 2016-17 and reached a UCL final in 2019, but that was the peak.
If Spurs truly want to compete for the Premier League title, they need:
✅ Elite managerial investment – Someone like Pep Guardiola, who can transform the squad and bring a winning mentality.
✅ Bigger squad depth – Their starting XI is good, but they need top-tier backups like City, Liverpool, and Arsenal have.
✅ Winning mentality – The club needs to shift from “top 4 challengers” to real contenders for trophies.
With the right manager, right mindset, and the right investments, Tottenham can finally start knocking on the Premier League title door instead of just aiming for Champions League spots.
Need to Invest in a Good Manager :
Tottenham has always been a club that produces or develops world-class players, especially attacking talents like Van der Vaart, Harry Kane, Bale, and Son Heung-min. But their biggest problem has always been the lack of a truly elite, long-term manager who can push them to the next level.
Managers Who Made an Impact at Spurs:
✅ Mauricio Pochettino (2014-2019) – Built a fantastic team, finished 2nd in the EPL (2016-17), and reached the Champions League final (2019). He created a great foundation but lacked the final push to win big trophies.
✅ Antonio Conte (2021-2023) – Instilled a winning mentality and got Spurs back into the Champions League. But his fallout with the club and lack of top-tier investments led to his exit.
✅ José Mourinho (2019-2021) – A proven winner, but Spurs didn’t give him enough support. They even sacked him just before the Carabao Cup final, missing a chance at a trophy.
What Spurs Need to Compete for the EPL Title:
1️⃣ A Manager Like Guardiola, Klopp, or Ancelotti – Someone who can build a long-term winning culture and attract big players.
2️⃣ Better Squad Depth – Spurs often have a good starting XI but lack strong backups, unlike Man City, Liverpool, or Arsenal.
3️⃣ A Winning Mentality – The club needs to believe they can challenge for major trophies instead of just aiming for top-four finishes.
If they invest in the right manager and build a strong squad, Tottenham has everything needed to compete for the Premier League. They just need to stop being a “nearly” club and start believing they can win.
Do you think Spurs should go all out for a manager like Zidane or Xabi Alonso, or stick with Ange Postecoglou and see how he develops the squad?
