Daniel Levy's Tottenham managers: from George Graham to Tim Sherwood | Daniel Levy's Tottenham managers: from George Graham to Tim Sherwood |
(35 minutes later) | |
George Graham – 1 Oct 1998 to 16 March 2001 | |
Despite being in charge for three years and leading Spurs to their first trophy in eight years, the 1999 League Cup, Graham departed within a month of Levy taking over as chairman. | Despite being in charge for three years and leading Spurs to their first trophy in eight years, the 1999 League Cup, Graham departed within a month of Levy taking over as chairman. |
Glenn Hoddle – 2 April 2001 to 21 Sept 2003 | |
The former midfielder had more than 100 games in charge but could do no better than a ninth-placed finish in his first full season. Had a poor start to the 03-04 season and, with no wins in four games, a 3-1 defeat to Southampton proved too much for Levy's patience. | The former midfielder had more than 100 games in charge but could do no better than a ninth-placed finish in his first full season.

David Pleat – 21 Sept 2003 to 3 June 2004 | |
Briefly caretaker between Graham and Hoddle (to add to a spell in 1998 and his own managership in the 1980s), he returned to steady the ship until the end of the season. With a fairly even record, winning 16, losing 16 and drawing seven, a 14th-place finish meant he was never likely to regain the job permanently. | |
Jacques Santini – 3 June 2003 5 Nov 2004 | |
Santini's reign at White Hart Lane is the shortest in the club's history. The Frenchman lasted 13 games and left citing personal problems despite sitting pretty in fourth position after an unbeaten start to the campaign. | |
Martin Jol – 5 Nov 2004 to 26 Oct 2007 | |
Jol managed just shy of 150 games, winning 45% of them. Secured European football in consecutive seasons but just missed out on Champions League qualification. He lost his grip on the job after a disappointing start to the 2007-08 season, winning only one out of 10. | Jol managed just shy of 150 games, winning 45% of them.

Juande Ramos – 29 Oct 2007 to 25 Oct 2008 | |
After clawing Spurs out of their slump, Ramos won the Carling Cup final against Chelsea and secured 11th place. But a poor start the following season followed and eight games without a win concreted his side at the bottom, the last a 2-1 defeat at Stoke. | After clawing Spurs out of their slump, Ramos won the Carling Cup final against Chelsea and secured 11th place.

Harry Redknapp – 25 Oct 2008 to 15 June 2012 | |
From bottom place with two points after eight games, Redknapp led Tottenham to eighth in the table with 51 points and a year later Spurs reached fourth spot and qualified for the Champions League. But despite reaching the 2010-11 quarter-finals they failed to requalify. In early 2012 a title challenge was possible and he was linked with the England job but that job went to Roy Hodgson while Spurs slipped to fourth; Chelsea's Champions League win elbowed Tottenham into the Europa League and Redknapp got the push. | From bottom place with two points after eight games, Redknapp led Tottenham to eighth in the table with 51 points and a year later Spurs reached fourth spot and qualified for the Champions League.

André Villas-Boas – 3 July 2012 to 16 Dec 2013 | |
After failing at Chelsea, Villas-Boas was given a second chance in London by Spurs. Despite having the best win percentage, 55%, for Tottenham in the Premier League era and winning all six of his Europa League games, heavy defeats in big matches in his second season led to his three-year deal being cut short by "mutual consent". | After failing at Chelsea, Villas-Boas was given a second chance in London by Spurs.

Tim Sherwood – 16 Dec 2013 to 13 May 2014 | |
Sherwood, having stepped up from the youth academy following AVB's demise, won an impressive 50% of games in his short time as manager. Humiliating defeats by Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and West Ham meant Sherwood's tenure was always likely to be short. |
