With Ange Postecoglou facing mounting criticism, Dejan Kulusevski remains firm in his belief that the Australian is the right man to lead the club forward.
Tottenham’s struggles continue as pressure mounts on Postecoglou
During the course of the last few weeks, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has come under immense pressure as results have faltered.
A shocking defeat to 16th-placed Everton, followed by an even more demoralising loss against 19th-placed Leicester City, has dragged the Lilywhites into an uncomfortable situation – the club currently sits in 15th place and are eight points above the relegation zone.
This has made the atmosphere around the club to become tense, with frustration growing among supporters who have voiced their discontent.
The chants demanding chairman Daniel Levy’s departure have grown louder, while some sections of the fanbase have even called for a managerial change.
The pressure is mounting, and in a season that once promised a new dawn, Tottenham now faces one of its most challenging moments under Postecoglou’s reign.
Kulusevski on Postecoglou: unwavering belief amid uncertainty
Despite the growing criticism and external pressure, Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has publicly backed his manager, reinforcing his belief in Postecoglou’s vision and the style of football he has implemented at the club.
He told football.london: “We’ve played perfect football, beautiful games against teams like United, City away, 4-0. We believe in him. I really want to play the football he wants because I love it and I believe he’s the right man.”
Postecoglou’s leadership: a test of belief and resilience
There is no doubt that Postecoglou is facing his most testing period since taking charge at Tottenham, and while his attacking style has earned him plenty of admirers, football ultimately remains a results-driven business.
However, with form continuing to decline, the big question is how long he can maintain the dressing room’s belief if results do not improve.
There is only so much faith that words can carry, and at some point, tangible results will need to follow to justify the continued support.
For now, he still has the trust of key players like Kulusevski, but in football, things can change quickly. The coming weeks will be crucial for Postecoglou, as Tottenham look to steady the ship and regain their footing before their season unravels beyond repair.
