Fabio Paratici now has a serious reason to be annoyed with Daniel Levy at Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur have a big decision to make in the coming days.

Indeed, Ange Postecoglou’s future is very much up in the air, and the Australian is potentially set to be sacked.

Postecoglou is likely to be sacked, and that leaves Tottenham in a real mess once again.

Spurs will be headed back to the drawing board, and, frustratingly, this all could’ve been avoided if Daniel Levy had made the right decision two years ago.

Cast your mind back to the summer of 2023 and you’ll remember that Spurs looked at a number of different potential managerial appointments.

Arne Slot was linked to Spurs, Tottenham eyed up Vincent Kompany, while Fabio Paratici had a number one candidate in mind, but Daniel Levy didn’t go in that direction.

Fabio Paratici wanted Luis Enrique at Tottenham

Back in the summer of 2023, Fabio Paratici was pushing for Tottenham to hire Luis Enrique.

Indeed, Enrique was Paratici’s top target.

Enrique’s stock was not all that high after a disappointing 2022 World Cup campaign with Spain, but Paratici was a big fan of the former Barcelona boss.

However, Levy went in another direction, deciding to hire Ange Postecoglou.

Since then, both managers’ careers have gone in wildly different directions.

Postecoglou has just taken Spurs to 17th in the league, albeit winning the Europa League in the process, while Enrique has just won the Champions League and Ligue 1.

Paratici is set to return to Spurs, but he must be pulling his hair out about the fact Levy didn’t listen to him about Luis Enrique, because, two years on, it’s very clear that the Spaniard would’ve been a better appointment than Postecoglou.

Luis Enrique compared to Ange Postecoglou

You only need to compare the stats to see the mistake Tottenham have made here.

Indeed, Postecoglou’s numbers at Spurs compared to Enrique’s at PSG make for damning reading.

Luis Enrique at PSG Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham
111 Games 101
78 Wins 47
19 Draws 14
14 Losses 40
70% Win percentage 46%

Of course, you could argue about the relative strength of Ligue 1 compared to the Premier League, but a discrepancy this large is simply unacceptable.

It’s not outrageous to suggest that Tottenham made a mistake here in going for Postecoglou rather than Enrique, and Paratici has a serious reason to be annoyed with Levy after watching Enrique win the Champions League this weekend.

That isn’t to say that Enrique would’ve won the Champions League with Spurs, but he probably wouldn’t have had them just one place above the relegation places in the Premier League.
