Tottenham face the prospect of a second successive season without Champions League football and whoever takes the reins in north London will need to ensure a club that was part of the failed breakaway Super League does not spend a third outside Europe's elite competition. Despite the lack of silverware, Pochettino's five-year term was the longest of any manager under Levy as he established Spurs as Champions League regulars and Premier League title challengers. Brendan Rodgers is arguably the best-suited candidate from within the Premier League but is unlikely to want to leave Leicester, so does that mean Levy will have to look abroad? The feelgood factor that existed around the club as it approached its first Champions League final has been lost. The 62,850-seat Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which can also host NFL matches and concerts, cost an estimated £1bn to build and is a venue worthy of hosting Champions League football.
