The manager, who has taken over at Spurs from the sacked Mauricio Pochettino, spoke on a range of topics in a 45-minute press conference on Thursday, during which he looked happy and relaxed, cracking a couple of jokes and showing flashes of that matter-of-fact cockiness, even though he described himself as humble.
