The thing this guy understands that the experts don’t, is that emotions win the biggest games, not tactics.

Klopp understood this, countless other great coaches as well.

You can hear and see why those players played like they knew they had to win.


God I wish he surrounded himself with a better coaching team. He's so motivational and clearly gets huge buy in from the players
 
For all the talk about his lack of tactics and his stubbornness and so on, there can be no doubt that Ange played a significant and crucial part in bringing us a trophy.

This documentary proved that.

Those who denigrate him give away more about themselves than diminish his achievement.

We move on but the guy should forever be respected by all Spurs fans.

But that is never going to happen, the references to his body mass and his lack of full mental faculties by some on this forum guarantees that!

You were given a sarcastic ‘funny’ by the dribbling forum gooner who has nobody to love him in real life and is hated by his colleagues, but you’re spot on.

It was right to replace him but I’ll forever be grateful for the trophy.

Weird that those who hated him so much somehow are the main contributors still to this thread. You’d have thought those oxygen thieves would’ve shut up and moved on. 😆

That's exactly it.

Not many people seemed to be able to take up the middle ground in the Ange in/out debate.

That speech posted just above, great, he did the emotional side well (though seemingly not for the 17 league games we lost), but Richard Arlison Richard Arlison in citing this as what Klopp and most great Managers do, seems to neglect the fact that those great managers didn't just excel at that side of things.

No great manager would have lost 17 league games and finished one spot above relegation with this Spurs squad.

Ange had one great attribute, and was severely lacking in pretty much everything else. That isn't even an insurmountable obstacle to being successful at the highest level, but not having the sense to put together a competent coaching staff to cover his own inadequacies absolutely is.

I agree, most great managers wouldn't have lost thise games but some very good coaches who aren't great, wouldn't have got the emotional side right and won that final...
 
Ange picked the team, had his staff train the team, and chose the tactics.

And then gave a motivational team talk that had grown men crying into their handkerchiefs. Maybe.

All the things managers get employed to do.

He did his job and he did it well on the 21/05/25.
If by that measure, he's solely responsible for the win, then he's also solely responsible for the 26 losses in all comps this season too.

We lost 22 league games, not 17.

But anyway I do agree with you. The coaching staff around Ange was a joke and doomed him to failure. To hire a top-level novice as head coach and surround him with novice coaches was never going to work.
