Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I woke up having a premonition that Ange might have health issues this season. Hope I'm wrong. I must be a natural worrier - or maybe I'm a psychic. It's probably more to do with the fact that he's of a very similar build and appeance to one of my brothers, who had medical issues at around the same age.

Eat healthily, Ange - you don't want angina.

Yes, I have earned the wrath of a few of the forum locals. Copped a nice of spray from a fan of English hypocr...I mean cricket on that forum. 😄

I do expect plenty of Ange stories, no matter how mundane to fill our sports coverage for however long he manages Spurs. I remember the days when every time Mark Bosnich made a save it would show up on the nightly sports report.

Hahahaha… I'm trying to stay out of the cricket thread. Can't see that coming to a good end.

Ah, yes, Bozza. A colourful character :)

Finger crossed, Ange gets some proper traction and has a long and successful reign as manager.

My brother's issue was acute chronic pancreatitis - and it seems that the pancreatic enzymes decided to devour his pancreas! He's now diabetic and also has to take tablets to digest his food. The ICU Unit, Lister Hospital, Stevenage were excellent. They saved his life.

That's why it's in the club's and Ange's best interests to buy the top class defenders he needs. Ange needs to stay as calm as possible.........enough of the keystone cops defending of the last few years

Ange Postecoglou looking for James Maddison to be ‘leader’ at Tottenham​

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou says he is “excited” to work with new signing James Maddison and expects the attacking midfielder to be a leader within his squad.
Maddison, 26, joined Spurs from relegated Leicester City last month in a deal worth over £40million ($51.5m).
“Really excited to get him as part of the group,” Postecoglou said. “Any manager will tell you that part of the key to being a dominant team is having multiple attacking threats and having a midfielder who can score and create goals, they’re not easy to come by.
“He’s proven himself at that level in the last few years, as somebody who can do that. When you look at Tottenham the last few years, they’ve been really reliant on the front three to get their goals.
“I think he’s in a stage of his career where it feels like he can be a leader, which is great as well because we need players who want to embrace that responsibility within this group, whether it’s their first year in or they’ve been here for ages.
“We’re going to need leadership on the field and he feels like he can be a player who does that.”

Maddison impressed last season despite Leicester’s struggles. He registered 10 goals and nine assists in 30 Premier League games, captaining his side on occasion.
Maddison has joined a Tottenham side that recorded an eighth-placed finish last season, with Postecoglou’s appointment a reaction to their worst Premier League showing since the 2008-09 campaign.
The Australian was asked about the difficulty of “re-programming” his new players ahead of the 2023-24 season, given the contrast in his style to that of Tottenham’s previous permanent head coaches.
“That will be the biggest challenge and that’s what I’m concentrating on at the moment,” Posctecoglou said.
“We don’t have the whole group here but the guys we have here it’s about changing that mindset and changing the way the players see the game, and maybe their roles within in.
“Even with the positions they play, there’s going be adjustments in how I want them to do things. Again, I love that. That’s why I’m here. If it was just me rolling up and they’re going out there, doing their thing, it wouldn’t excite me. That’s part of the challenge — it will be a shift from the way the club has played for three or four years.”
