Tottenham Hotspur are a club who have been part of the Premier League fabric since its inception. They have always maintained their status as a mainstay in England's top flight.

In the process, Spurs have often changed managers. Tottenham's most glowing appointment in recent seasons has been that of Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentinian manager changed the way Spurs conducted business on the field. He revolutionized their football and even took them to the finals of the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League.

However, Jose Mourinho was soon appointed as his successor after a poor start to the season. This was in a bid to bring a winning mentality to the club.

After an ignominous end to the Special One's stay at the club, Spurs have once again begun a new journey. This time under Nuno Espirito Santo in the 2021-22 Premier League season.

Throughout the years, Spurs have employed over 16 managers in permanent and interim roles. Of the 16, Tim Sherwood enjoys the highest win percentage, a remarkable 59.09%.
