Ex-Tottenham boss Villas-Boas slams Levy: He destroyed everything

Former Tottenham boss Andres Villas-Boas has slammed chairman Daniel Levy.

In total, Villas-Boas managed Spurs from August 2012 to December 2013, winning 45 of his 80 games in charge.

His most recent job was with Shanghai SIPG which came to an end in November 2017.

He told Corriere dello Sport: "The first season was magnificent in all aspects. We had a 'short' squad in terms of depth, but a great spirit and so much will.

We picked up the most points in Spurs' history with an incredible Bale who played behind Adebayor where he was free to move, but also with Lennon and Walker who allowed us to have a good counter-attacking 4-4-2.

"In April, we started planning for the next season. I offered some names to buy and sell, but during the transfer window, the board didn't listen and quickly destroyed everything we'd created.

"I got an offer from Paris Saint-Germain, who wanted me, but I said no out of love for Tottenham. Maybe that was a mistake."
