Ange Postecoglou has said that Chris Davies’ decision to stay at Tottenham Hotspur comes as a major boost to the side, admitting that his senior assistant has been a key part of the project that is underway at the North London club.
It was widely reported over the last few weeks that Davies, who joined as part of Postecoglou’s coaching staff in the summer, was one of the top managerial targets for Swansea City (Wales Online).
However, Tottenham knocked back the Championship club’s initial approach (Matt Law) and it emerged last week that the Welsh club had decided to move on to other names after the 38-year-old decided to remain at Hotspur Way (BBC Sport).
Alasdair Gold subsequently explained a few days ago that Davies is thoroughly enjoying his time at Spurs, adding that it would take a ‘special’ offer to convince the former Leicester City coach to jump ship.

Postecoglou is delighted Chris Davies is staying
Postecoglou has expressed his delight at the outcome but revealed that he did not have much of a discussion with Davies regarding Swansea’s approach and allowed his assistant to make up his own mind.
When asked Davies’ decision to stay at Tottenham, the Spurs head coach told Football.London: “I didn’t have a massive discussion with him. Chris sort of decided that this is where he wants to be. Great for us.
“He has been a real key contributor to what we are doing and he’s part of what I think is a really exciting coaching group because they’re all sort of young guys who are really determined to make an impact. Great for me.
“Like I said before, you want the best people and if you have the best people they are always going to attract attention from others. It’s always better if they come to the decision themselves to stay with us than us sort of force the issue. Chris kind of decided this is the place for him and I’m delighted to have him on board.”
Spurs Web Opinion
By all accounts, Davies has made a wonderful impression on the Tottenham squad and is the man who leads the training sessions on a day-to-day basis.
So, it would have been a significant blow for Spurs to lose the 38-year-old, particularly given the busy schedule over the next month or two. Postecoglou would be extremely relieved at his assistant’s decision.
