Ange Postecoglou has been speaking about what he is looking forward to the most in his role as the new head coach of Tottenham Hotspur.
After a long and arduous search for a new manager in the wake of Antonio Conte‘s departure last season, Tottenham finally landed on Postecoglou.
The Australian comes off the back of winning an historic treble with Celtic and securing consecutive Scottish Premier League titles.
It has been an exciting start to the Postecoglou era at Spurs, and a ball has not even been kicked yet.
Not only have we seen new faces arriving at the club in the form of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and long-term target James Maddison, but there has been plenty of positive talk from the new gaffer to get the fans hyped up.
Postecoglou wants to excite the Tottenham fans
In an in-depth interview with SPURSPLAY, Postecoglou had plenty to say about what we can expect during his tenure.
He said: “Obviously I’m excited about the challenge ahead. It’s an enormous football club, an exciting league and all of the things you strive for in your professional career.
“It’s great to finally be here, getting ready to work and I’m really excited about what’s ahead.
“I love to win, that’s the main thing, and I’ve done that wherever I’ve been. The football is designed to bring success.
“Alongside that, it’s really important that there is an element of what I think most fans and players want to be associated with, and that’s football that’s exciting, that people talk about, not just the end result but also the manner in which you played your football.
“That’s really important to me, firstly because I think it’s a way to be successful and also secondly, because it allows people to grab on to those things that are most special about our game, those memorable moments.
“People want to see their team scoring goals, being exciting, not conceding goals, being aggressive in their approach, all these kinds of things that everyone seeks in their own football team.
“That’s what I want to try to provide. You’re never going to get it right in all aspects but the basis of it will be that we want to be a team that wins things and, ultimately, also entertains our fans.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I am totally sold on Postecoglou now. Spurs fans desperately need a team they can get behind and to be entertained again after a dismal season last year, and it sounds like Ange is ready to deliver that.
