Speaking at a fan forum in front of 250 supporters last night, Levy said the appointments of the former Chelsea pair had been influenced by pressure from certain players and swathes of the fanbase to win silverware and have a big-name coach in charge.
In a 90-minute Q&A at the club's stadium alongside Postecoglou, men's captain Heung-min Son, women's head coach Robert Vilahamn and new women's skipper Beth England, Levy also insisted he stood by the decision to join the European Super League in 2021, committed to a full review on ticketing and revealed the club had a buy-back option for Harry Kane.
Levy controversially sacked Mauricio Pochettino in November 2019 and replaced him with three-time Premier League title winner Mourinho, while Conte succeeded Nuno Espirito Santo in November 2021. Both lasted around 18 months, largely played uninspiring football, and felt a poor fit for the club.
