Another Portuguese as well, we know how successful they seem to be at Spurs, no disrespect
Nabil Bentaleb
. Shame of it is his interview he seems like a nice guy, but he will be walking into a toxic place.
I honestly wouldn’t mind if Levy volunteered to be the first man living on Mars right now.

He will fit right in
I hate this hire, but is there no one in charge of stopping that? It's a genius move if no official is going to stop you.
This club is torture.
None taken mate. Unbelievable how this club goes for him. Portuguese for Portuguese Sergio Conceição would be ten times betterAnother Portuguese as well, we know how successful they seem to be at Spurs, no disrespect

im done. i thought we couldnt get worse then fucking martinez and we did. fonseca 6 fucking weeks to get fonseca. im done
I have to give Levy credit, I had zero expectations and thought we would get a crap manager but he even managed to shock me with his crap selection.
A poor manager with zero ties to the PL. Unreal. At least with crap like Martinez, Howe and Southgate you could squint and try and say their English football experience could help.

Well Levy seems to have finally united the fanbase.
I don't know anything about him. I've cut and pasted this from The Athletic from a while back:
Paulo Fonseca
With Roma’s Paulo Fonseca being replaced at the end of the season by Mourinho, Tottenham could feasibly stop part of the European manager roundabout before it gets going by bringing in the former Shakhtar head coach.Fonseca’s tenure at Roma started well, with his side finishing fifth in Serie A, an improvement on predecessor Claudio Ranieri’s sixth-placed finish. Recently though performances have really tailed off alongside results, ultimately leading to Roma seeking an alternative manager for 2021-22.
Fonseca’s playing style — according to the “most similar coaches” section of the dashboard below — wasn’t overly similar to the Portuguese. Fonseca focuses heavily on building from the back, making him most similar to the likes of Bruno Genesio at Lyon and Unai Emery at Woolwich.
It’s not just been possession for possession’s sake this season either, ranking as the 12th-best attacking side in Europe when looking at non-penalty expected goals per game. For context, Tottenham have been the 30th-best side in Europe, and just the eighth-best in the Premier League.
Fonseca has been particularly unlucky with injuries of late, which explains some of the downturn in form. Centre-backs Chris Smalling and Marash Kumbulla have missed ten and seven games respectively either due to injury or suspension since early February, with only Gianluca Mancini playing more than 80 per cent of minutes this season.
A lack of Premier League experience may go against Fonseca, but he’s shown he’s able to create a formidable attacking side in the last couple of seasons. It’s hard to shy away from his defensive shortcomings though, most recently on show in Roma’s 6-2 hammering away to Manchester United in the Europa League.
