Spurs' McDermott handed wider coaching remit

McDermott has a good relationship with manager Mauricio Pochettino and head of recruitment Paul Mitchell, with the trio discussing potential signings and who they can promote from the youth ranks.

"All three would be considering whether we have the talent under our first team that we could promote up. The approach is always to try and promote up, if possible," Spurs chairman Daniel Levy told the club's Supporters' Trust.
