(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has said it was a "mistake" to hire Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, adding that the Premier League club "needed to go back to its roots" with new manager Ange Postecoglou.

In March, former Juventus coach Conte became the second serial-winning manager to leave the north London side in little more than three years after they also sacked Mourinho two years ago after the Portuguese was brought in to replace the hugely popular Mauricio Pochettino.
