Andre Villas-Boas has taken a swipe at Tottenham as they search for a new manager.
The Portuguese manager was made Spurs’ boss in 2012 and he left 17 months later after the team hit a poor run of form.
He was speaking about his managerial career recently and says he joined Spurs and they were discussing winning titles when he just arrived.
As the Lilywhites search for a new manager, they are still looking for someone who will end their trophy drought, but Villas-Boas believes that is something too lofty for a club like Spurs.
In an interview with The Athletic, he said: “I’ve always set myself high objectives.
“So whenever I accept something I throw myself into achieving objectives that are harder to get and probably put myself under more pressure than I should.
“At Chelsea and Porto there is obvious pressure to win, and Zenit the same.
“But the other day, by chance, I came across my first Tottenham interview and I’m speaking about titles.
“Titles which are still lacking (for Spurs) but are what everybody wants and you arrive and you set that bar high because that is what the fans want.”
Tottenham could lose their best player, Harry Kane this summer and if that happens, they will struggle to compete with the other top clubs.
However, a new manager would still be expected to help them return to the top four and perhaps win a trophy.
Though, who knows when the next manager will be announced, there is nothing on the horizon at the time of writing this.
