He said: “We made a conscious decision that we wanted a coach who would understand what we really wanted as a Club, which was to play attacking football, to enable everyone to enjoy coming to a match and be entertained, and also someone who understood the importance of the Academy.”

Postecoglou was famed for his attacking football at Celtic, deploying a 4-3-3 system where the full-backs tuck into midfield in attack, leaving just two defenders at the back.

Spurs Web Opinion:

Attacking football is what we all want. Yes, a trophy would be amazing, but for now, I just want my sanity back. I want to enjoy watching Spurs every weekend again. Give me some 5-4 wins over 1-0 snoozefests.
