Tottenham are working hard behind the scenes to put a solid structure in place to support new manager Ange Postecoglou, and it certainly seems to be working if results on the pitch are anything to go by.

A key complaint among the Spurs fans over the last decade has been around the way the club recruits new players. For too long, too many big-money signings have failed to live up to expectations, and the squad has suffered as a result.

Now, in the wake of Fabio Paratici’s departure earlier this year, a new hierarchy has been developed at the club. Scott Munn is in as chief football officer, while Johan Lange began work as the new technical director at Spurs today.

Rob Mackenzie will join Spurs next week

It was reported recently that Lange could be reunited with Rob Mackenzie, whom he worked with at Aston Villa (Football Insider).

Clearly, Lange works fast, as Matt Law has today reported that Mackenzie has left his post at Villa and will join Tottenham next week.

Law said: “Rob Mackenzie has left Aston Villa and will join Tottenham as chief scout next week – linking back up with Johan Lange, who has made the same move. Mackenzie has worked at Tottenham before in the past.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It’s very impressive that we have identified someone we want, and within a matter of days have made this happen. The partnership between Mackenzie and Lange should prove to be fruitful for us, and now I just hope they, and Postecoglou, are given the resources to succeed by the club.

The Tottenham hierarchy has been going through a lot of changes of late, spearheaded by the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as manager during the summer.

The success the Australian has enjoyed so far, with an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign taking the club to the top of the table, has stolen most of the headlines right now.

But, behind the scenes, there are plenty of other new faces taking the club in a positive direction. Since the departure of Fabio Paratici earlier this year, Spurs have needed executives to fill the void.

Scott Munn came in as Tottenham’s new chief football officer last month, while Johan Lange is set to take over as the club’s technical director this week after leaving his role at Aston Villa.

Spurs want Rob Mackenzie (again)

Now, according to sources at Football Insider, the Lilywhites are once again looking at Aston Villa to supplement their recruitment roster.

Rob Mackenzie supported Lange at Villa as the Midlands club’s recruitment chief, and is now being headhunted by Tottenham. Mackenzie actually worked for Spurs previously, in an 18-month spell between 2015 and 2016.

But now, Tottenham are keen to bring him back and hope that reuniting Mackenzie with Lange will provide the same kind of success Villa have enjoyed in the transfer market since the former joined the club.

Spurs Web Opinion

Sure, Villa have made a few dodgy signings in the last couple of years, but on the whole, they recruit really well and that’s why they are flying right now. If we can get Mackenzie and Lange back together, then it makes a lot of sense to do so.
