The Lilywhites have finalized an agreement to bring on a crucial individual behind the scenes.

An update from a trustworthy journalist claims that Tottenham Hotspur has agreed to name a new important man behind the scenes.

Tottenham’s board changes

The recruitment department has seen a lot of change, possibly for the better, since April when Fabio Paratici quit and was followed out the door by Gretar Steinsson, who left her job as performance director two months later.

The most recent of the really exciting additions to the Lilywhites is Johan Lange, who began working as the team’s new technical director this week. However, another off-field player is expected to follow Lange’s lead and join from Premier League rival Aston Villa.

Days earlier, it is revealed that Daniel Levy and Ange Postecoglou had advanced discussions with Rob Mackenzie, the Midlands team’s head of recruitment, in an attempt to get Lange back together. Mackenzie has a wealth of expertise.

The 38-year-old has held senior positions at Derby County, OH Leuven, and Leicester City since the beginning of his career. He also spent time as a scout at Spurs (Transfermarkt – Mackenzie profile). Based on the latest information, he is now anticipated to make a second appearance.

Spurs complete deal to recruit Rob Mackenzie

Matt Law of The Daily Telegraph verified on X that Mackenzie has been switched by Tottenham, and he will start his new position in the next seven days.

Following his departure from Aston Villa, Rob Mackenzie will return to Tottenham as top scout the following week, reuniting with fellow mover Johan Lange. Mackenzie was formerly employed by Tottenham.”

Spurs’ fantastic start to the new Premier League season—they have won eight and drawn two of their first ten games—shows that they won’t be in dire need of adding a number of new players at the start of the following season, but they are still being linked to players that they are interested in signing before January.

Matt O’Riley, a midfielder for Celtic who has fallen out of favor after making a big-money move to Saudi Arabia during the summer, is reportedly of interest to both Al-Ittihad’s Jota and Postecoglou, who is seeking to reunite with his former talisman.

The new scout has demonstrated the caliber of players he can select. In his first stint at the team, he was instrumental in the discovery of players like Kieran Trippier and Son Heung-Min, the latter of whom went on to have an incredibly successful career and is currently the captain.

Mackenzie’s appointment should be a marriage made in heaven for both sides, as Tottenham is very data-driven when it comes to selecting targets. For supporters, this appears to be the beginning of an extremely exciting new era.
