According to The Standard, Ange Postecoglou surprised many of his colleagues at Tottenham Hotspur with his remarkable ability to recall names.

The report states that Postecoglou has made it a point to stop and greet anyone he passes at Hotspur Way, thus adding warmth and a human touch to the club.

The Australian has allegedly urged all of his players to be good people above all, which is something he emphasises over and over again. The Spurs head coach also reportedly stresses the fact that they are extremely fortunate to be professional footballers.

Postecoglou is a breath of fresh air at Tottenham

The Standard state that all of the decisions Postecoglou has made at Spurs are underpinned by empathy and emotional intelligence.

In the ruthless environment of top-flight football where athletes are under tremendous pressure to perform regularly and their sense of self-worth can often be defined by their display during the 90 minutes, it can become difficult for them to enjoy their football.

So, one can understand why Postecoglou reinforces the idea that they should be grateful to be professional footballers and the importance of enjoying the journey. The messages certainly seem to be filtering through as the squad seems quite happy right now.
