Tottenham chairman Levy: Ange? I just wanted to appoint someone who...

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is delighted with the early impact of new manager Ange Postecoglou.

Levy discussed Postecoglou at a fans forum this week.

"It was very easy, because Ange I would say is just a normal bloke and it was wonderful to be able to have a conversation with him where we could talk about anything and he was very direct and honest," he said.

"I like someone who just tells me as it is, no one that plays games, no one that says one thing to me and then one thing to someone else. This club needed to go back to its roots.

"Honestly, there was a lot of pressure on me to bring in somebody that was a big name. I just wanted somebody who understood our DNA, would play attacking football, that would give young players a chance, believe in the academy, would build a relationship with the fans and understand the resources that we have and don't have as a club and be part of a team.

"Ange, I have to say, is a breath of fresh air."
